    1/32, 1/43, 1/50 are the scale of the model, not the degree of difficulty.

    Scale means how much smaller than the real thing it is. 1/24 th scale cars are 24 times smaller than the actual car.Are you certain about the type of kit he wants ,plastic,metal etc ?Im guessing its a plastic "Airfix" type model.Tractors will be rarer in plastic kits than cars for sure.The Difficulty Level will only be one makers system .Its not the same across all brands.Anyway most people,certainly adults, would be able to put together a kit ...its just a question of how well.The painting is normally what separates the men from the boys ...
