Matthew's Chevrolet Impala Police Car

[Jim B]

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.

Well done with your sons model kit. Is it his first one and does he plan to follow in his dads hobby? lol!!

Congratulate Mathew for me. Sounds like you two are a great team.

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!

You do make a great team and he will always remember it. He may have the model fever now. That is a very nice story...Thanks for sharing
