Hello everyone and Happy New Year !
So, to make my son proud, I'm posting if first ever completed model ! An Airfoil Sherman Firefly Tank (never done a tank myself !
) He's 7 years ld
This is from those starter kit for kids with paints included. So all is hand painted. He built it all by himself using tamiya glue instead of the included tube and painted it all by himself. Needed help only for the decals.

Won't be long till he is fretting endlessly about fractions of millimeters, and rivet counts, and greens that are too blue.
Excellent job young Mr Garion!

Way to go!
Thats is a good looking tank. Like the different shades of green on the front of it, looks very nice!
I got a 11 year old boy who is building his first car. I will post some pictures of it when he makes some progress that he want to share
