Not a novel, great story, Kyle. It's those little things that keep them interested in models vs the other distractions they are constantly exposed to. You worked it perfectly. He won't forget this any time soon. My grandson is also 12 and he's in and out of the model bunker, depending on his mood. Hopefully he'll keep at it. Heck, he better, he inherits the whole lot, ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png) Thanks Steve! This was the first time he’s shown any interest but he sure seemed like he had a good time. That’s all that matters to me. And if he never wants to do another one that’s ok too. We had a fun day of it. Seems that he also got to experience the wormhole that permanently swallows parts. He sent a tiny piece of Boba Fetts armor into orbit so he’s missing a piece but he got that finished up otherwise once he was home. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/m2n1mbzC/IMG-0144.jpg) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/KvqV2BXV/IMG_4820.gif)

Nice! I see what you mean about this Academy F-14. Builds are so much more fun when the manufacturer puts so much detail into them. Really liking these new Academy kits.

I did take some photos today before work. Here’s a couple for now. After work I’ll drum up a completion thread. Thanks for all the kind words and interest. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/vDF2KPJr/IMG-3517.jpg) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/h4zSHXFv/IMG-3524.jpg)

Nice Tomcat Kyle! Bird looks great, ordinance looks great. I've always like the AIM-54A and kinda wish someone would be a large scale model of it.

Great finish. But....you might want to talk to the asphalt maintenance guy. Runway looks really rough

Man this is looking sweet Kyle!! You've captured the worn gray paint effect very well and the decaling is right up there with the paint. Looking forward very much to seeing the upcoming finishing shots .......

Great finish. But....you might want to talk to the asphalt maintenance guy. Runway looks really rough ![chEAnY](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/3885/chEAnY.gif) Thank you!! The maintenance guys really dropped the ball and now that poor F14 is stuck in a rut. Lol Man this is looking sweet Kyle!! You've captured the worn gray paint effect very well and the decaling is right up there with the paint. Looking forward very much to seeing the upcoming finishing shots ....... Thanks a bunch Joe.
