my kid's ME-109

I've been living vicariously through my son since he was three, so this is nothing new...
Whats really impressive is the fact that he built this in a relatively short amount of time from a rubberband powered plan he scaled up (without much help on this build) added retracts, found a spinner, exhaust stacks, made paper decals, etc. The plane is very light and well balanced, don't get me wrong its far from perfect, but he wanted to build it and he did! (SEE VIDEO)

That is adventurous for a first build. Do we have a budding scale modeler here?

Splendid job! I love the laminating work on the nose. Your son is on his way to a lot of fun and satisfaction.

That is just the way it is...every time I meet a friend I have not seen for years and he tells me: " Hey András you look younger than the last time we met..." I say: " That is right, as years go by, I will soon need pampers again..."
