Laser cut or die cut kits? Laser cut.

Laser cut balsa wood kits are going to cost you a little more, but they have one compelling advantage: they don't require you to sand the pieces after you free them from their balsa sheets. My first kit was a die cut kit. My least favorite part of the whole process was sanding and triming the pieces after cutting them from the sheets. You can't imagine my joy when I did my next kit with laser cut pieces. No sanding and the pieces were perfect every time.
