discussion Airfix Seahawk and Spitfire both 1:72 scale our first of 2016

[Guest]

Hi all hope everyone is well


Just thought I would post some pictures of mine and my now 9 year old efforts so far this year.


First up is an Airfix Seahawk.


we both like the plane and the kit was nice and easy for him to build but I had to do a bit of sanding and filling the paint scheme is quite basic so it was ideal for him to paint it.View attachment 247037

We did have to have a game of rock paper scissors to choose which decals and paint scheme we would do and he won so British it is


The Next one is a Airfix Spitfire MK VB


This kit was again easy to build and there was hardly any sanding or filling. this time we painted it together.
