Default RE: What is a good beginner kit?

Little things can make a difference. For instance, when you are ready to round the sticks of the tail, etc buy a Master Airscrew razor plane and some good sanding blocks. There are commercially available sanding pads that allow you to set a groove to round off square shapes but you can also make them out of wood by creating a groove in the wood that matches your needs then line the groove with sandpaper,,, much cheaper (:-).

Word to the wise. Be VERY careful with CA glues. If you lean over the bench and look closely while gluing you will probably get a dose of those fumes. I'm a person that went thru life with no allergies (not even poison oak) but I developed a severe reaction (like asthma) after getting repeatedly exposed to the CA glue. A good woodworking glue will do a better job anyway and it's much cheaper.
