What is a good Fountian Pen kit for a newbie doing his first FP?
Thanks

Personnally, I don't think it is any harder to turn a FP than any other pen. If you can turn b2b or with a slight bow, you shouldn't have problems with any of the kits.

I agree with this, also will add the Jr Statesman. I am not an expert by any means. But I have made these kits.

I was thinking more of the difficulty with assembling the final pen.

I do, however, like the Ligero very much, but they no longer sell them! I had to beg for one to use in a CSUSA/BEREA conversion to make the Cambridge "useable" for me so I do not break the thin nib coupler.
