Hi 2Quick...
I know the FAQ says Tamiya kits are the best, and they rightfully are.
But may I suggest u try ur modeling skills on a crap Revell or Monogram kit first? Get the cheapest Revell kit u could get hold of, go to Wal-Mart and look for $4.99 kits. Like, don't even bother trying to make ur first kit look good, it never will unless u're some miracle modeler.
Use the body to try out all the different techniques like spraying, sanding, polishing, decals.... use it for testing, and when u feel comfortable with ur modeling skills, try ur hand at some simple Tamiy kits like the Honda Fit or Mini Cooper or somethin'
If u start off with expensive Tamiya kits, several years down the road, u'll look back and weap and feel sorry...
