Here is one that my grandson Alex and I built, the 1/48 Hobbycraft Sea Fury. A simple kit made more difficult by the usual poor instructions, but decent fit and surface detail. Alex did a lot of the work on this one, with some help from me on masking and decals, and I finished up the little details. At the bottom is Alex at work on his next model, a Testors 1/48 Bearcat.

That's pretty sharp work for a young lad! Very well done indeed.
And, he's a cowboy, gotta like that!

I love that "wild rag" he's got tied 'round his neck! Now, that's old-school cowboy!

Old Alex has a bright future ahead in this hobby. Very well done! That is a real beauty.

Well done Alex!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
Re: Alex's Sea Fury
Nice job! I did that kit a year ago or so. Great looking airplane and a very nice build.
Thanks,
John

Re: Alex's Sea Fury
Thanks, All! Alex does a lot of the work, but grandpa does some stuff that makes sure he has a model he can be proud of. Gradually I make him do more. With the Bearcat I hope to have him do most by himself, if he goofs I have more Bearcat kits to practice on.
