Unfortunately I wayy missed the deadline... the thing when building with young kids, is that their interest is on-off-on-off; unfortunately the interest wasn't there for a few months, until last week when Alex spotted the half-finished Eindecker and wanted to finish it.
So I applied the remaining decals and he painted the remaining parts -their installation was mostly my work, as they're just too small and fiddly for a four year old. He did apply the (tube) glue with a cocktail stick, so even though we missed the deadline it is still finished
Rigging is up for the next build!
I now also know why most kid's models come with stickers instead of decals, it's not really handling those, but the attention span -by the time the decal is loose from the backing paper, the attention is lost already
Still, the things we did together were a lot of fun, so much that I we bought a HobbyBoss easy-assembly kit as a next model. Less small parts, and more stuff to paint, which he really loves
As I wrote, though I did some masking, he did all of the painting. I can really recommend Revell Aqua for kids, great stuff that makes painting really fun.
Best regards,
Jeroen
