Euan,

I'm not familiar with that kit but have done planking ,so,
just post queries, ther;s bound to be someone who can help.

One thing you will need for a wooden build is lots of "wet & dry" abrasive paper, get two (or more) sheets of 180, 240, and 400 grit, as well as some 80 and 120 grit 'ordinary sandpaper' as you will use plenty.

Wet/dry from motor discount places, 'ordinary' from DIY (the kind used on sanding machines is fine).

Never use old fashioned proper sand paper, (the kind which actually uses sand), it is far too course when purchased from decorator shops.
