'57 Chevy Bel Air

This was a quick, one week build I did with my 7 year old. He's often asks if he could help me when he sees me building a kit, so I thought a snaptite kit would be something he could get involved with. He picked out this Revell kit (mainly cos he thought the flames were cool :)).

He had creative control (ie, he chose the colors) and was in charge of assembly and laying down the stickers. I did the painting and trim. Color is Tamiya TS8 (Italian Red) and BMF for the trim.

This is the first snaptite kit for me and I must confess, I really did enjoy it. There might be a few more making it into my stash! :D

Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience.

I absolutely cherish the 3 models my son and I built together. He has absolutely no interest in it now. In fact, he claims that it's childish and nerdy. so I get to hold on to the 3 models that we did get to build together. He'll want them back some day, I hope.

Nice father & son project.
