Hi,
My 10 year old son had decided to cover the history of the NHL (national Hockey League) for his extended project at school ,as we are both love ice hockey and are avid supporters of our local team, where I am the team photographer.
However I discovered this offer at the Airfix website;

http://www.airfix.com/shop/last-chance-to-buy-collection/hurricane-mk1-1-24-gift-set.html
so a quick text to him and the deal was done.
The extended project will be on building this kit himself, with some background documentation on the real aircraft, photos of him building it and the various build stages, what might have swung it as the fact I said he could use my airbrush to paint it !.
He has tried building kits (1/72) before but due to his mild dyspraxia he sometimes finds it hard to manipulate the small pieces, so this should be ideal for him been on a bigger scale.
Its going to be a straight OOB Build and paint, although he did say last night " Dad can we do that stuff you do to make your models look real and used", me " Josh do you mean weathering" , " Yep thats it dad, will need some under the wings"; this should be fun !
