Subject: [Elecraft] Off topic: beginner kit recommendations?

My 11 year old son KB3KYB has been fascinated by my recent K2 kit
building.  He has never soldered but is excited about the idea of
building a radio of his own.  With his birthday coming up this would be
the perfect chance to get him a small kit that we could build together.

I thought a shortwave receiver with a few bands would be best since it's
simpler & cheaper.  Though I'm also considering a "cake tin special,"
getting the parts to homebrew one of the old tube beginner rigs built on
an upside down cake pan.  Any ideas would be very welcome.  Thanks!
