Preguntas frecuentes

Do I need previous experience to build these kits?

No. All our beginner model kits are made for people starting from scratch. All you need is the wish to try, a little patience, and instructions to follow step by step.

What tools do I need?

Very few, and all of them simple: a craft knife or precision blade, wood glue and sandpaper for wood. They're easy to find and you'll reuse them on every project that follows. The kit contains every part of the model; tools and paints are sold separately, and each kit tells you exactly what you'll need.

How long does it take to finish a model?

It depends on the model and on how much time you give it. The simpler kits are finished in a matter of days, or a few weeks if you work in short sessions.

What age are these kits suitable for?

Our kits are recommended for ages 14 and over, as stated on the box. The build involves precision blades, adhesives and small parts, which is the reason for that guidance. If you're looking for a first project to build alongside an adult, these kits are a good place to start.
