I have built a couple of the Top Flight planes and the list Missileman referenced, is pretty much what it takes to build one,along with a flat building surface.

if this is your first TF kit then I highly recomend reading the manual front to back several times to familarize yourself with the construction process, there fairly strait forward, but there are many steps to follow,and you want to follow them in order, there are many reasons for this mainly some small steps set up main building sections.

what I do that is helpfull is use a yellow highlighter to mark the steps that have been completed, in the boxes at each step,if your plane has some steps done you might want to review all the construction steps to make sure none were omitted by the previous builder,and then procede to finishing your model.
