With a just a bit of help from me, this is my 8-year olds work. Well, quite a lot of help from me actually. But she did show an interest. I didn't need to force her, she knew I would feed her if she helped me
Seriously, my two girls had seen the models that I make (very slowly - and not WW2 at present) and wanted a go. Call it gender stereotyping, but I doubted their commitment, however I decided it was fair to give them a chance. So last Christmas I bought the Revell models of a Spitfire and a Hurricane. Jennifer (now eleven) lost interest in the Spitfire about half-way through, but Alice (now eight) carried on and we finished the Hurricane about a couple of months ago.
The model is the Revell 1/72 scale Mark IIc, finished according to the kit paint scheme as KZ136 of 336 (Greek) sqdn, Egypt 1944 (so presumably a squadron in reserve).
I am dubious as to whether the undersides were really as bright a blue as this. And there is one error (that I know of), purely due to me being over-confident and not checking the instructions - anyone see what it is?
