Hi SigPiPup,best way to find what is needed is to get the kit and start,a flat surface is needed,wax paper or plans proctor is nice,glue,ruler and square,something to sand,cut,and saw with. Probably most of the tools needed you already have as time and kits accumulate so do the sophisticated tools[toys?].My first flying model was built with most of the tools from the kitchen,now I have two rooms filled with tools for building.
