Everything said is good information. Personally i would start out with something fairly easy to build. It will get finished in a reasonable amount of time, and build your confidence up as well as give you the satisfaction of scratch building. You will get a feel for what is needed and the amount of work involved in different portions of the build. Every time i scratch build something, i seem to discover different tools or ways to do something, so its an ongoing learning process. And i've been at it for allmost 40 yrs! Congradulations on your desire to scratch build & good luck on your first model....Gene
