dadgaddad Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Yesterday my 5 year old son asked to go to the local model shop. We had a good look around and he chose this Sopwith Camel. I thought it would be far too difficult for him but it was only £3.50 so I let him have it. He built his first model, a Lightning, a couple of years ago at an Airfix day at the Cosford museum and since then he has built a Red Arrows Gnat, a Zvezda FW190 and a couple of Airfix Quickbuild Spitfires. Here are the results of a couple of hours of fun and it's mostly his own work, especially the decals. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
