RE: what basic knowledge before starting a kit building
So far, what is here is very good advice. Also DO NOT RUSH Anything. I have been known to read the same instruction over and over to make absolutely sure that I understand what is being indicated. If you rush anything, or set a goal of getting it done in a certain amount of time you put yourself up to a goal that might not be realistic. Work at your comforable speed. Also, check off each step that you are asked to do. You never know when a 1 or 2 week break might happen and sometimes it takes some time to figure out where you left off. OH....and one final thing....If you haven't purchased any CA Debonder, do not start using CA without any. And make sure it is in arms length at all times. Nothing worse that going to your LHS for debonder with a fuse or wing stuck to you. (No I haven't done this yet, but have glued myself to my work several times.) LOL
