First of all, I'd like to welcome you aboard......The guys are right about this kit being one of the best starter kits to get you going on this side of the modeling world.....There is a lot that you can do with this kit, but my suggestion is to build it box stock....Just the way it comes, first.....Then you will see how the kit goes together and find out what may give you trouble should you want to customize.....I don't know your experience with models, in general, but that would be my suggestion.....That and go and buy another one just like it....I, almost NEVER build a kit I only have one of.....You never know when a bad paint job will sneak up on you, or if your hood suddenly sprouts wings and flies into the dirt.....(Am I right, Clayton?)...... And use a 40% off coupon for it, this time.....Just pull it up on your phone....
