Make 1:1 scale wood boats, learn boat building

Midwest Products, is the company that supplies , cut balsa, metal , and wood plane and of most interest 1 inch to a foot scale small boats. This is a great way to learn something of boat construction , as the kits are cut into the parts that a traditional boat builder would cut or form. Its at least a good scale exercise and my one day this type of model can be used in airplane kits?
