Hi guys,
This is my 9 yr old sons entry into the Junior category. I bought it for him last year, pretty sure it's one of the new molds, the detail looks nice and crisp.

Have to be totally hands off with this one, but he'll be getting plenty of advice along the way ;D

Panel lines and rivets are really nice, perhaps a little out of scale ? Bit nice anyway.

Nice job Jake!! Loving the Office color!!! Keep up the great work!! ;)
 
Agree with the details especially the office, seems like the panel line a bit off the scale

anyway paint looks great!!!
 
Hi guys, update from Jake.

Painted some of the interior detail and got the instrument decal placed.
