Airfix and Revell Germany both make starter sets.

  1. https://www.amazon.com/Airfix-Curtiss-Tomahawk-Starter-Gift/dp/B0055ANS18/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1511843278&sr=8-4&keywords=airfix+starter+set

  2. https://www.amazon.com/Airfix-A55214-Grumman-Wildcat-Plastic/dp/B00TQOL1VI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1511843278&sr=8-2&keywords=airfix+starter+set

  3. (two in one box) https://www.amazon.com/Airfix-Dogfight-Double-Curtiss-Mitsubishi/dp/B0055ANWKA/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1511843341&sr=1-1&keywords=dogfight+doubles

    This set of larger planes might also be a good choice if the idea is to go for a "bigger" present.

  4. https://www.amazon.com/Airfix-Supermarine-Spitfire-Messerschmitt-Bf109E/dp/B00IJZIECE/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1511843360&sr=1-1&keywords=airfix+1%2F48

    These packages include paint, glue, and a paintbrush. Honestly, the paint isn't great. But as a first time lark, (1) he's likely going to build an imperfect model, (2) he'll probably still have fun doing it.

    For further information as to basic toolkits and commonly asked questions, see the FAQ and stickied posts.

    Short version: craft knife like an X-acto knife, glue, paintbrush, maybe a sanding stick or two (manicure boards of various grits would work for this), tweezers.

    Also, I would recommend this as glue:
    https://www.amazon.com/Tamiya-87038-Extra-Thin-Cement/dp/B000BMYWYC

    It's designed to flow into the joints of plastic parts and essentially weld them together. It works much better than the tube glues that will be included in those sets.

    As for the kinds of results one might be able to expect if one takes time and is careful:

    Speak with u/pukit about it as well, that's his model using nothing more than what's included in the box of one of the starter kits I linked.

    It's a good first dip.

    Hope that helps.

It’s part of the Airfix 1/72 double pack. Came with glue, paint and two models. The other one was a Zero.

Here’s a link in amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0055ANWKA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_CnCiyxqpNKcYC
