It can be,....there just has to be inspiration by builders to promote more modelers in clubs and online to buy and try to build a kit or two. I'm currently mentoring a friend to build, when he first got the kit it was by the advise of a co-worker who is a good builder, but left him high-n-dry when it came time to build it. I stepped in and have been teaching him how to build the plane, little by little I can see his skills get better and better, soon he'll be confident in tackling almost any kit out there. Which kit did he choose for his first?,.........A TF 1/8th corsair, I tried to talk him out of building it as his first but he insisted on building it. At first he was frustrated, now he's enjoying the build and see's how every step plays a part in the model as a whole.
