Jevin: I posted my advice several days ago on the 1/5 scale cub as a first kit. After thinking about it again I would add an additional point or two. If you are good with tools and have a fairly well equipped shop, you should not have much trouble building the kit. However, understand that this is a "Scale" model and requires much more detail work. For example, the struts are functional, and require several days to build. Fitting the cowling is no easy task for a first timer as I am finding out. Just understand that this kit takes much more work that say a Something Extra. After saying all of that, I am having a blast building this one. Fred 123[&:]
