My son built that Testors Bearcat on his own when he was a kid, and painted it. I just did a second coat of the Sea Blue before he put on the decals to even it out. Its the only model from that time that he has kept. Perfect kit for a boy.jeaton01 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 22, 2023 1:02 pm 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.

Re: Alex's Sea Fury
I love the Sea Fury. Very nice work on this one for such a young modeler. Well done! You should be very proud.

Thanks, all. I will make sure Alex sees what you have said.
Re: Alex's Sea Fury
That's an excellent bit of work John, he did really well - I shall look forward to seeing the Bearcat.
