I have just helped my better halfs 9 year old compleat his first kit, the Airfix Mk 1 Hurricane. He didn't paint the insides, never rubbed down a joint and used no filler on it at all. We got gluey finger prints on some bits and tomorrow he is going to paint it with the little pots of paint that they give you in the starter packs and then we will put the stickers on and then we will hanng it from the bedroom ceiling.I know that I enjoyed helping him build it and I know that he wants to build the Me 109 that came with the Hurricane.
The best thing is ,2 kits ,plus paint ,a paint brush and a tube of glue only cost him £4.99. At that price you just can't go wrong. Problem is now what do I do when he statts eyeing up my collection?
