I also introduced my girlfriend to modelism those days :) We started by Heller spitfire mk9 in 1/72 scale. It was a simple model, easy to do as first model (actually, this was my third model 10 years ago ;) )
Here's the result







After this spitfire, she has taken a different way : she started a 1/24 cars collection. First model was a New Mini,but she has discovered  a preference for 30's car such as Traction or Bugattis.

King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

Oh, that is nice!  Love those old cars too...just don't show her the absolutely fantastic kit of Nemo's car from The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen !

You said it! Last time she come to my home we saw the film...well, only a part of it because we were very deceived! The basic idea is quite good, but the film itself is not very interesting. But we saw this fabulous car!!! Is there a model of it available somewhere? :)

 I am telling you...it is one unbelievable kit. Gorgeous is the word.

Merci... and the scale is just the good one (1/24). Thank you very much! This car would rock along a Bugatti Royale and an Hispano Suiza J.12

Very nice Spitfire.
If you get Nemo's car for her, be sure to post pics of her build-up!

Styrene in my blood and an impressive void in my cranium.

Can she add the front end of a kubelwagen to the back end of a jeep?

Amazing job your girlfriend has done on that Spit.
If you love, love without reservation; If you fight, fight without fear - THAT is the way of the warrior

If you go into battle knowing you will die, then you will live. If you go into battle hoping to live, then you will die
