RE: Just got my first kit....looks complex!
I've only completed one kit, a four star fourty. I started on a cg super chipmunk.
It reminds me of my highschool cross country coaches advice for running up a hill. Just look right and front of your feet and dont look at the top.
I just followed the directions and I was finished before I knew it. Its not nearly as tough as it looks when you open the box and see all that wood. One step at a time, its cake!
Good luck!
