Could a nine-year-old who's never done a model make them with the help of parents who have?
Absolutely. The kit company rates them as "Skill Level 2" which basically means that you'll have to use model glue, and the kit's not pre-painted (though some decals may be supplied). Most all of the injection kits in my list are Level 2 - even the snap-fit ones will need painting, at least.
I was building Level 2 kits at 9 years old, though my paint jobs were horrible and I didn't know about seam-concealing model putty yet :)
I'd be interested in all of the kits that aren't spoken for already minus the Star Trek vinyl kits. $5 each is a good price! Plus I ought to be close enough to come pick them up rather than ship them.
If geckoman doesn't want dupes, I'll take one of the Defiants and one of the three ship Enterprise displays. Since I'll be using them for kitbashing, he can pick whichever version he wants.

How difficult are these three, in your opinion? Could a nine-year-old who's never done a model make them with the help of parents who have?

Did you see the Vader's TIE Fighter model? I'll assume you're intentionally passing on the Luke and Han vinyl kits.
