Hi therE Steve and welcome along to the model forum.

Have a look at the top of the page under *getting started in the hobby*, there are some good links etc to read and to help you out.

Start off with a nice simple Tamiya kit like the WRX/Skyline GTR34/VW etc.
These are good simple kits to get you started in the hobbie

or maybe the new Revell Pro Street '41 Willys--big tires, big engine ,mean looking, only around $9

Was the new Beetle easy model too? If so I would recommend it to my wife :)

It was very easy......very good kit to start with. It was that basic but still looks a great kit when done
