My wife was unhappy about my A-10 in the little girls room, so I've started a more "appropriate" F-15 to replace it. Basic Revell 1/48 F-15, custom camo, and she'll get full USAF markings.

And of course I had to make a motivational poster:

Yes, the camo is much more appropriate. ;D
Ideas for underwing loads ? lipstick, things like this ?  ;D
Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

Cool ! And that 'motivational poster' is hilarious ! There's a number of us who have built pink aeroplanes for our daughters. Except Radish. He builds them for himself  :thumbsup:

CANADA KICKS arse !!!!

My eldest daughter (no, not the one who's the RAF's best etc etc....) built her own pink Spitfire when she was around 6 or 7. She used the old Airfix Mk IX kit, from the blister pack years, and painted it pink and blue on top and camo green underneath.

But she put the wings on upside down and swapped left to right so the landing gear stuck up above the wings on each side! When asked why she looked scathingly at me and replied 'If the wheels are underneath the wings how will the pilot know if they are up or down???'

Er, right.......... [Exit Dad shaking head at young female 'logic']  :banghead: :banghead:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Thank you for sharing fellas, I'm glad I'm not the only one  :thumbsup:

Here she is completed, I'm not decaling any more. I put them where they are intentionally, no rivet counting :cheers:

Captain Canada
