          You should also only be allowed to work on the kitchen/dining room table after you have finished your homework!

            I am going to write here the basic tools allowed.
            Other than the kit contents.
            Knife
            Tweezers
            Masking tape
            And a sanding stick or paper.
            We all have to think are selves as 10 year olds.

                  It's a three month build as there are so many starter kits out there myself I have ten in the stash.

                    For all those taking part in this build I think it should run for a weekend. Just like it used to be. Buy it on Saturday and be flying it by Sunday night. Good luck chaps.

                        Nice idea, but not practical for me. I have 3 kids and a wife that works weekends, between homework, parties and sports events there's no way I can just sit and model for a weekend.
