We would like to thank you for purchasing this LaBelle kit. We believe that these are the finest kits of their type on the market today and we hope that you enjoy building it. These are considered to be “Craftsman” kits. Don’t let that title scare you. This is a Craftsman kit because if you shake the box, all you do is break the parts, not assemble the model. If you can read and follow directions then you, too, can be a “Craftsman.”
