GreyKnight Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 ~S~ Chaps, My nine year old son, Jack, finally finished his Revell's 1/48 scale F-16C "Wild Weasel." He built most of it, spray painted the underside, applied the decals and even did the weathering. It's nowhere near accurate, more like 75%. We used decals from the 2 different squadron options it came with, and left loads of the little fiddly decals off. I left the underside white (although weathered) but it looks good enough. Of course Quote
Snacko Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 All I can say is WOW! For a young kid like that, there are many details that are awesome! Of course some spots aren't perfect, but overall I'd say this was a way above average model build. Congrats!! Quote
Sulky Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 taking a break from packing my house up ......wow...my 14 yr olds son typhoon wasnt painted..had glue everywhere and no decals...hats off Quote
