I know I started wrong as I went right to a hard kit (TF GE 1/8th Scale Corsair), I have had some building experinece so I thought it would be a nice challlenge (so far it has been and looks very good). Now I have bought a P40 PTS Trainer, and I am going to fly it and help devlope my flying skills on a warbird. Building is very rewarding, for me anyways. I like taking a square piece of balsa wood and make it into something that looks like a plane.
Have fun with your kit building, I hope you find it rewarding as I do.
