This airplane is a wood model. You will need a building board, hobby knife, fine sandpaper, glue and a small hobby saw to complete the kit.

Unlike a plastic model you will need to cut, fit, and sand some of the parts to make the best fit and shape.
All wood kits that we sell are rated for 14+ years of age. All builders younger than 14 years old will need adult supervision.

The large kits should not be attempted unless you have prior building experience. The larger the kit, the more details are involved with complex curves for the wing and fuselage.
