RE: Kit Building Cool Tools
Get yourself a decent band saw. It doesn't have to be one of those big floor models. The 10" bench top ones are VERY handy. I've seen them at yard sales, nearly brand new for $30. I made a fence for mine and use it just like a table saw. Very handy for making up sticks from sheet stock, cutting out wing ribs, and sawing out plywood formers/parts, etc. I also do some scratch building besides kits. In over 20 years of model building, I might have used my table saw once to make some landing gear blocks for a giant scale project. For everything else there is my band saw. I do like the razor saw, zona saw, etc. mentioned above for quick cuts. They are even faster than a band saw for small cuts.
