Shark Squadron - Sabre Jet

dadlamassu · February 01, 2014, 11:25:24 AM

Our grandson, Callum, built a Matchbox Sabre last week. He decided that it looked like a shark.

So we spent some time on the internet looking at shark pictures.

Tiger sharks, Blue sharks, Leopard sharks and many others were considered.

He decided on creating a Shark Squadron -RAF or RN or Joint? Does not matter to a 6 year old!

First up the Leopard Shark - "stickers" from my spare transfers (decals) box. Teeth and eyes hurriedly painted by grandad.

Cool camo. Looks like your grandson has the instincts of a real WHIFFER.

Brilliant ! They really do have such fantastic imagination at that age, and it's all so "logical" to them

Oooh I like that. Just don't fly too close to Western Australia or the state government will try and cull it.

That is awesome ! Nice work boys ! Throw it in the fish tank and terrorize the residents there of !

Look's great. Camo works really well. An Me262 is a must in shark squadron though.
Nice to know that MY build quality, is equal to that of a six year old!

Cheers... Ray

Hope to get a 262 at Perth that is easy enough for Callum to make.

Awesome shark and great paint job! How many times has it zoomed around the room?

Almost constantly for days - with the Sabre Jet of the Leopard Squadron. His wee brother has a clip together Strike Eagle and he roars around too!

Dogfights everywhere!

Simply cannot ask for better than that!
