Jim B Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 So, I want to a local hoby shop with my 7 year old son, Matthew, to get a jar of paint for a current truck project. While I was looking for the correct paint, Matthew was looking over the car kits. I knew by the look on his face that he really wanted to get a kit, but the shop we were in didn't have a large sellection of snap kits (hey, he's 7), so after I purchased the paint, we went to another shop which has a larget snp kit collection. He started to look over their kits, but was having a hard time deciding between the Revell '57 Chevrolet 210 & the Revell Chevrolet Impala Police Car. He decided on the Impala. I think he made a good choice. We finished it today after lunch. I used the hobby knife & put on the long, skinny stickers; but he did all the rest. I think we made a good team.

Jim B Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 Thanks, guys. I'll pass on the compliments. No, this is his sixth model. He's done (with help) the Revell 1/32 Mack CF600 Pumper: A 1/72 F/A-18, a 1/72 X-Wing fighter, a 1/25 Dodge Viper, and a 1/100 F16 fighter. Sorry, no pics of those. As far as following me into the hobby, only time will tell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
