Hmann68 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 A friend whom I’ve known since we were kids said he was interested in getting back in the hobby. Hasn’t built anything since his early teens and asked if I’d help him with one. He picked up this kit and brought it over. I helped him out with it, and kept it simple. No airbrush, just Tamiya cans. No extras like plug wires just box stock to show him parts clean up and basic building. I did a small section of BMF and he did darn good with the rest! He’s impressed with all the modern tools and supplies we’ve got available these days. Hope he keeps on going! One error is the Dodge emblems...the front is on the back and vice versa oh well! Thx for looking 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrenchr Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Nice job on that build to your Friend. It would be a shame if he did not continue building. Even a better job to you Christopher for the help and encouragement of your Friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I helped my friend’s 10 year old son build AMTs Bigfoot truck a couple years ago, and since then he’s put together at least 25 models, and he’s now got a couple of his friends doing it. Worth it!!!!
