A plank on frame hull is certainly a challenge for a beginner and your patience will be put to the test. The trouble is that it is a very time consuming process so you may loose interest as progress will be very slow.

I would always start out with a moulded hull for a beginners kit but, if you feel up to it, give it a go. There is certainly a lot of satisfaction in making your own planked hull but is something that I have not yet felt brave enough to have a go at.
