Triple Dittos to finding and building from an appropriate kit. Building as a modeling disipline is a skill set just like flying is and you will get nowhere if you start out trying to learn to fly with a P-51 or a B-17 ain't gonna happen. You need to start with a kit and not just any kit either same thing agine.

It needs to be an appropriate beginners kit there are many around now from small cottage industry supplier especially of not neccessarily scale airplane but of some vintage RC types from the fifties and sixties. These make wonderful starter kits.

Your choices in the scale airplanes are wonderful and I love them too however both are very poor choices as first builds. Especially the loving. Yes its a magnificient little airplane but with that inverted gull wing its is no where near a beginer build.

Make the right choice here and this can turn into a lifetime passion for you as it has for most of us and heck you may even want to learn to fly at some point
