RE: first time kit builder.... have a few ?'s
Any good set of instructions will show you a picture of the parts as it instructs you to make us them in the build process. Also, the plans themselves should be clearly labeled and by virtue of multiple views, you should be able to determine the names of the various parts, as well as their proper placement.
For what it's worth, I think the Ultra Sport would be a better choice for your first build.
