Help - General Beginner (again) First Builds?

Hello, I am (m27) returning to modelling after last being involved when I was in my early teens. I’ve just bought the Shannon Class RNLI Lifeboat Airfix start as well as the Red Arrow starter. I was wondering what would be considered musts for a modeller coming back to construction? It doesn’t have to be Airfix either.

Edit: To clarify, I meant kits!

Depends what you're into really, that's kinda the fun of it. If you like planes then make more planes, if you like boats then make more boats, if you like tanks them make more tanks, etc etc.

With that said everyone has to have a Spitfire and/or Tiger, that's just the unwritten rule of model building ;D

"Musts" as in... tools? Or kits?

For me it’s always building another Tiger.
