In my opinion, the Guillows kit might be a fun project but it's probably a little different than the Rapture. It will also be alittle smaller and more dlicate which might be frustrating if you are new to building. Personally, I would just get started on the Rapture. I built one and it went together great. The only problems were some low grade wood and poor die cutting which, truth be told, weren't all that bad. I had the rapture framed and covered in no time. It was a great flying plane. Plus, the excellent instructions from GP will help you learn a lot about building.
