Welcome to the group Ian, Boats stuff isn't me right now but there are loads of boaty folk an here, I am sure one of them will be able to offer words of wisdom.
 
A warm welcome to the forum Iain. The member who is an expert in RC boats is Chris, aka Boatman. Look out for his threads.

OK Iain. I'm glad Chris has responded.
I suggest that you become a supporter. This costs just £10 per year and comes with a load of advantages. You will be able to post photos and you get a discount on anything you purchase from the Scale Model Shop. John, who owns the shop, also owns the forum. On your Schnellboat project you'll need all sorts of stuff so the discount may well equal or exceed the £10 supporters fee.
Start a build thread for your build. Show your progress and ask questions. I guarantee that you will only get polite, helpful responses. I know Chris will follow your efforts and come in with ideas gleaned from his many years experience.

Here is a link to Chris' HMS Tiger build. Well worth a read.
