You may also want to purchase a lighted magnifier (the type with an adjustable boom which connects to your desk or has a weighted base). I purchased one at one of the big box office supply stores for about $29. I found it to be a big help examining my soldering. I also used it to make most of the solder connections. It removed much of the stress from the tight solder connections. Maybe I am just old enough that I needed the help.
Go slow and enjoy the experience. I spent about two weeks building the kit and was rewarded with a fully operational kit on the first try.
