Thinking of building my first kit. I know I should probably start with a sport plane, such as a 4* or something similar, but I'd really prefer something scale. Looking for something in the .90 to .120 size, but .60 size would be OK. Don't really care what type of plane (aerobatic, warbird, cub, etc), just looking for a scale model with a reasonable set of instructions. I do know several experienced modellers who will help with any difficult parts of the build, but want to do most of the work on my own. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Scale is scary word when it is used in conjunction with first time build. Heck scale is a scary word period ... LOL.
Can you give a couple of examples of what you would like to build ??
It is so wide open right now it is hard to make any recommendations.
I am not saying that any of these are a first time build, but here are a few kit suppliers that are still out there.
