If you want a good looking plane to learn how to build a kit find a Sig Ryan STA. Of all the planes I have built, beside a Great Planes Cap 21 40 sized, older Sig kits require you too know how to shape and sand and fit. If you can finish that plane you will know how to build. The only thing I will say about the kit is you better have plenty of time to build it and not to get in a hurry.

I still have that plane and I copied the standard pattern but instead of red black and white I did mine in blue black and white.
