LF modern Navy kits for a 13 year old


Recommended Posts

Good afternoon all.  My youngest son is very interested in Navy aircraft after learning that his grandfather served in the Navy during Vietnam.  Due to the Covid lock down I have been working on my WWII bombers having finished a B-25, B-17, B-24 and currently working on the B-29 (wow what a big kit) . My son is looking to start his own build.  I am wondering if the Yall have any kits you would suggest for a young man on his 1st build?  Please drop me a DM and I am sure we can work something out.  I appreciate you taking the time to look.

If you have a Michaels or a Hobby Lobby nearby, they both have the Revell F-14A and the F-18E. Hobby Lobby usually has an in store reduction and Michaels at least offers 40% off coupons online from their website.

 

The -14 is a tried and true kit, but, it is getting tired and is a bit difficult to work with for a new modeler. But, it is inexpensive and still builds up to look like a Tomcat.

 

The -18E is a newer kit, fits better and builds a bit faster in my opinion. Also inexpensive.

 

If you can find a Monogram A-4 somewhere, those are also fairly straightforward and build up nice.
