  13. As a suggestion I'd like to recommend the Kits by Revell that have the numbers on the box that correspond to the skill level start off with a skill level #1 then once you get confident move on to a #2 , and so on....you can also avoid finger prints and messy windows and such by using the appropriate glues. For example I use CA glue in very small amounts to glue most basic kit parts together. its a lot better than testors glue because it doesn't melt the plastic to make a bond. here are a few examples of what I use and why I use them . 1. Cyanoacrylate Or CA glue or Super glue: super glue give you the ability to glue things together fast so you dont have to handle the parts long, and it wont melt you part causing sticky stuff all over the part. you can get this in different thicknesses too Thin (Drys super fast) medium (drys in 5-15 secs) and extra think (drys 10-25 secs) you can find it online and at your LHS (local hobby store) 2. Plastruct plastic weld, it a multi purpose evaporative formula for bonding plastic: it literally welds the plastic together at the seams, you hold the two parts together then add a drop of the glue and it goes into the gap and does its job in seconds. 3. 5 min epoxy I bet you can guess why its call that. thats right it drys in 5 mins but its a two part epoxy you can glue anything together with this stuff. I use it to glue metal parts together. works great and once it drys it's Rock hard and almost impossible to break, we glued a half dollor piece to the side walk with this stuff in front of a friends hobby shop and watched as people went nuts trying to pick it up. 4. White Glue or Elmers you really can use this stuff for alot of different things some use it for gluing windows in because it dries clear (let me add right here NEVER use CA glue for windows , unless your going for that frosty morning in winter look) It just takes a long time to dry. Well I hope i was able to help you and not confuse you too much.... feel free to ask myself or just make a thread if you have any questions. We wish you well with your model building endeavors.
