The tools listed are what you will need.
For plastic parts, a glue suited to polystyrene plastic is best used, such as liquid poly or a needle dispenser type, such as contacta.
You will also need liquid superglue for bonding tyres onto wheels.
Paints are listed here: http://forum.model-space...spx?g=posts&t=12099
The RB7 discussion topic provides answers to most questions..

Welcome to the form. This is a really nice build to do with your son I am sure you will both be proud of the finished result.

Mate
once it arrives and you have his intrest you will notice the change almost immediatly particularly with his focus, the only problem I have is the frustration between monthly receivals, and actually getting the mags off him to have a look at myself.
