Welcome Greg..! All model brands have there own issues at times but me my favorites are AMT...MPC...and other out of business companies that made great kits(some required more skill or work than others)though. Monorgam kits are usually easy to build as well. I have been building all my life since about 6 or 7 years old...even some of the snap kits can be good ones...I build them and full glue detailed kits. Best advise anyone ever gave me on building is to treat every part as if it were a model itself..and take your own time with them.
