Kees KleijwegtNice job!
A great way to spend time together and pass on the hobby.

Spanjaardwow, well done! both of you. You son for the result in a very nice first model, and you for keeping your hands off it 🙂

Martin OostromAnd now he's practicing his English when reading all your nice comments. 😄
I originally bought the popsicle stick for my F4F, but this was a practice run I couldn't resist.
Spanjaard, it was SO hard not to take over. But he did a decent enough job for a first attempt. (Can't praise him too much or he'll think he's better than me at that age)
Once the bug bites him once more, it's Revells 1:72 p-51b next.

Martin OostromThis one: scalemates.com/kits/115007-revell-04182-p-51b-mustang
Just saw when copying that I did the D based on the same kit. That was a horror 😮
And I did the d-day version way back when scalemates.com/kits/175033-revell-4148-p-51d-mustang

Patrick HagelsteinThe P-51B should be nice, the P-51D is only good for getting cheap but good decals. 😉

Peter HardyI LOVE the Corsair! And a very good build as well. Wish I could do half as well at his age. Heck, I wish I could do half as well now!

David ThorGreat job! Love the base and your son sure knows how to build and paint a model.

Martin OostromThanks guys. Forgot to mention that everything is hairy brush paunted.

Album info
My son got this kit for 2016 Christmas. Just this week it was finished. He did the building & painting himself. Only thing I did was the decalling. He didn't want to put on a gloss layer first, he was in a rush...
