stevehnz Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Super effort indeed & not just for her age, better than some I've seen from some older modellers & heck, I haven't even learned to do airbrushing yet. Shown up by a 6 year old. She has my congratulations. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Smith Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 great work, I've done some Zvezda clip together Disney Cars and Planes with my daughter, which are really well engineered kits and produce a very good result fast for anyone who might like a good starter kit BTW. she's nearly 5 so not quite got the patience for glue as yet, though I maybe being a little too careful, though I have the very old tool Airfix Spitfire IX and I have told her about pink FR Spitfires so that will get done, the pastel coloured PR Spitfires maybe good for young ladies I think, just being a little more eyecatching. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234929226-pr-pink-spitfire-mk-ix/ Not suggesting that a girls will automatically want pink, but the 'pink' thing is hard to get away from, and could be an interesting 'hook' That said I have been working on a Airfix 1/72 Spitfire, and she did sit and watch, and I showed her the cockpit, and then a photo which made sense, then showed her the endplates of "Spitfire - The History" which has lots of colour profiles which seemed interested her. cheers T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianMF Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Wish I could spray that well! What a great result for a 6 year old. I remember the first kit I actually painted more than the bombs, tyres and propellers was the Airfix Swordfish, and most of that was white plastic - I was nearly ten at the time.

Mike DeTorrice Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 A wonderful job on this scale Spitfire by a very talented young girl ! She should be very proud of the fine model she has constructed here. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Brilliant job, what a great result! The young lady's airbrushing is terrific! Talking of pink aeroplanes, my daughters one & only model, built around the same age, was a bright pink & lime green Tucano! Unfortunately she found horse riding more interesting - & if anyone thinks modelling is expensive.....!! Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJBud1 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Wow, that's really good for a six year old! Yes, I do wish more youngsters would join the hobby. Glad to say I'm one of the youngsters! I'm not very young, nearing my teenage years, but I love anything having to do with WWII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveCromie Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Parenting - you're doing it right Now, when does your young lady start doing her internet airbrushing tutorials? My masked camo isn't a patch on her freehand technique! DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixup_1 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Wow!! Well done young lady, keep up the good work. Wish i could get either of my daughters into the hobby lol maybe my son will, but a bit to go, hes only 6 months lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbofan Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 What a top job! Good choice of colours, they look like camouflage to me. I had to wait until I was 16 before I used an airbrush. My daughters want to have a go too, so when I found a Spitfire kit in the charity shop for 50p I thought they could build it. I'll post it when they finish it.

Flashman Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Very good of you to be getting your daughter into it, that's exactly what my dad did with me and look at me now: obsessive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
