SteveV22FE Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 As I was working on my C-130, my son (5 years old) asked if he could models with Dad. So, we went to the LHS and picked up a Bravo and Dusty kit for him to build...here's some in progress and finished model. I didn't get any shots of the Dusty build...just the finished model. He's pretty proud of these. So proud he's going to enter them in this weekends Tulsa contest!! He wanted them on bases "like Dad's airplanes"! (pretty funny) I really impressed with the job he did on the stickers! In his words, "They have to be right." Enjoy BRAVO Build (The Short Version...I took a lot of pics) The Box Getting rolling... Attaching the top fuselage half... Exhaust nozzles... Landing Gear... All Together (Blurry...sorry) All Done! The Really Short Dusty Build... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joel_W Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 You're really one lucky guy. I tried and tried to get my son interested In modeling, but he never caught the bug. I'm amazed at your sons dexterity at 5 years old to work with those parts. Before you know it, you're going to need a much larger workbench. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
