Daughter Project - A-10 Warthog
My daughter didn't feel she had the patience yet for a paint and glue kit, and went back to a snap kit. Surprised she chose the Warthog over other kits that were available.
I had lost some faith in Revell kits after building the Black Widow, but this started going together fairly well with only minor seam issues.
The wings were a bit of another story. The gaps were a little larger, but to my nine-year-old they were just fine as is. It's her kit and she has built it her way.
The ordance snapped rather easily into the wings and the assembly is nearly complete.
She thought it would look better with a coat of paint so we masked off the cockpit and sprayed it down with a can of Tamiya TS-17. She really likes the end result.
My daughter thought there were way too many stickers left over after following the directions. So she found them each a home.
For such a simple kit, it still looks pretty mean coming right at you. Now my daughter will want to take another trip to the hobby shop, or maybe tackle that paint and glue kit she has left in progress in the basement.

Peter HardyLook out Brad, your stash is in peril! She's done an awesome job there! Maybe she thought you'd enjoy her doing a plane. There is an unbelievable variety of kits made for 9 year olds, but some are difficult to find. R2D2 next?

Brad FurmingerShe has been eyeing a couple Star Wars kits since seeing the latest film. She has a thing for police vehicles too so I expect that to be get follow up to the Warthog.

Brad FurmingerIf you give a 9-year old girl a sheet full of stickers, you know she's going to use each and every last one of them. I think she was sad that there were no polka dots.
