Excellent. Do you have a very basic list of "must have" tools one might need to build this kit?

Not for me Lee, but there are bunches of folks who haven't tackled a garage kit before, at least that was what I was told. If you've ever assembled an RPF related garage kit, most of them have some tutorial that begins with the basics. Not everyone is an all knowing, Garage Kit god like you are Lee.............LOL
Sweet. definitely gotta look into that. Thanks Lee. That sounds better than my idea of using brass tubing.
Sure?
X-acto blade handle
Crap ton of X-Acto blades. I prefer the X-LIFE ones NOT made in China.
Sandpaper - crunchy, regular, calienté
Glue - super and not so super
Paint - all the colors of the rainbow, in enamel or acrylic
Primer - spray kind.
Soap - the grease cutting kind
Epoxy - the two part kind
Airbrush - the double action kind
Brushes - not cheap ones. Skimp on your tools, you will make crappy models.
Solvent for paint - clean your brushes and airbrush. And fingers.
Patient significant other - you will abandon them in the evenings for a while.
Snacks - healthy or not, it's your choice.
Drinks - stay hydrated!
Clothes - you don't want to look like a pervert at the model table, do you?
AC - a temperature controlled room is kinder to drying paint.
