Guest UnderpaidSoldier Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I'm new to this, working on my first set with the SC set and will be purchasing the KS helmet soon. My question is, would you suggest buying the pre-assembled version or going for the assembled one to start off with? I understand modifications will have to made either way, just want your input.

BananoPower22 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 It's up to you really. If you wish to get it assembled go for it. I went with the kit and assembled it myself and it wasn't difficult to build. It's good practice in case I wish to get another scout helmet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dart Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 How patient are you? It can be a bit tricky to assemble but if you take your time and use care, you can put it together and have it looking good in a reasonable amount of time.

jabbasdead Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 as has been suggested, basic skill are required are required to put the kit together. There are plenty of threads on the website that you can use for reference. Even the assembled kit might require re-assembly, so why pay the extra $$$. Good luck and don;t forget to post pics of your build... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 If you are comfortable putting together a model airplane and/or model car kit...then you should be okay. There are lots of examples and plenty of folks that can give you guidance. Also, if you have not already - get yourself a PhotoBucket account so you can post some pics...

Flero Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 related question! What all does the KS construction entail before i also buy one? I saw pics of pasting and clamping another bucket... This is my first build and im kind of doubting my abilities at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 It's not that bad. Basically, 3 main ABS parts, w/a lens and some decals. There's nothing to paint other than the snout. Go for it and watch your confidence grow...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
