wafu_vasco Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) Hello All, This is the finished article that my son has been working on for the past week or so. It's his first ever model aircraft, having only painted a couple of wargaming archers before in 1/56. I tried to help him with bits he was too nervous to attempt, such as the canopy and the lines in between colours, but most of it is his own handiwork, following instructions and guidance from me on the sidelines. Thanks to everybody who has followed the progress and given him such a massive amount of support during the build! Here's the build thread: Edited September 10, 2017 by wafu_vasco 45 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Fabulous model! My first airplane, when I was twice your age, didn't look half as good. Good work! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorby Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I'm pretty sure that none of my models looked that good when I was a lad - and I was twice your age when I started. Well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon382 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Awesome result from such a young lad. After looking at my last model I may be coming your way for some hints and tips!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Fantastic model. No wonder Leo looks proud! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Absolutely brilliant. Leo is clearly a natural. When I was five my models were unpainted and covered in gluey fingerprints. I hope he is hooked. We need young talent in the hobby. I look forward to seeing his next project. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HP42 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Wow, what a great model! I wish mine had been that good when I was that age, but above all, I wish my father had been able to spend the time with me on them. You both should be very proud! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristow95 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I would say it's great for his first model, but I think it's just a great model, most seasoned modellers would be pretty content with this. It's very well done and look forward to the next build. 👍 Wonder how many people started with either a spitfire or hurricane, it seems almost synonymous with starting to build models. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIPboy Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) Please tell me you helped him a LOT! I built my first model around the age of 6 and I was happy that I managed to glue it together and not the complete canopy is white because of the glue. Great work!
