    My daughter has been watching me build kits for the last year and wanted to try one. So I got her the 1/32 Revell 1/32 Spitfire MK1/ll, with a Barracuda resin seat. This is her progress so far. There are a few things that she'll be able to correct as she gains more experience, but I'm quite proud of her.

    My compliments to your daughter...when I was that age, that kind of detail work was outta the question (and I most likely used a whole tube of Testors glue and their paint/brush set) 🙁

    Well she has finished decaling the spitfire, she still needs to add a few bits and the flat coat and she'll have it finished
