Hey FatCat. Kraus here and welcome to the real world; kit building.

Styrofoam board, t-pins, and wax paper are quite necessary.

A sanding bar, X-Acto saw set and knives are my friends.

I use Elmer's yellow glue for most applications.

I use epoxy glue of thirty minutes or longer setting time for areas requiring strength, firewall, wooden motor mount, strut and wing-half attachments.

Have fun and don't struggle always trying to make the kitter's ideas work. Invent your own.
