hey everyone

ive just posted a few pics in my gallery of my 11 year old sons first kit, a 1/72 mig 21 'peeping mig' by fujimi. he built the kit pretty much without assistance, the instructions were quite good so he managed it well. i helped with guidance on the paintjob, and the transfers, and he thinks it came out really well, as do i. id love to hear some views on his kit, the pics are on page 3 of my gallery, hope you like them. my 12 year old is currently completing a 1/72 harrier gr3 which i hope to post when finished too.

cheers for now,

alpha

Very very nice plane there and only 11?? Keep up the great work!!! I noticed in one of the photos the there was a Harrier lying on the bench too. Is that one his also?? Would love to see what he does with that one too if it is his.
Animal beat me to the Question. Please let him in the AGE Campaign. This is exactly what it is for.
