If you dont like sanding stay away from TF kits. I have built almost every TF Gold edition kit and i can say without a doubt I HATE SEEING THE WORDS "SAND TO SHAPE"!!!! No kit is idiot proof. Just read the instructions and make sure you understand them. That will save you from being a idiot. Most of todays kits from the more popular manufactures come with great instructions,Laser cut or decent die cutting. Most little mistakes can be sanded out or builtup. Take you time covering the plane. For 99% of the people the covering job is all they see and is what gets the complements at the field. My first plane was a plans built P-51. Turned out fine. Second was a TF Cessna ,Turned out fine. Just read the instructions and understand them. Trial fit the parts first before glueing. You can build about any kit you want with good instructions,taking your time. I would vote for a Sig Senior Kadet as a first kit. That takes lotsa building(good practice) and little sanding(unlike alot of kits)
