Hanno KleineckeTo my utter and complete surprise, three weeks ago my 8 year old doughter asked me
If she could build a model too ! So I went down to the cellar and got this very old Revell
Kit out for her. Here's the result - of course it had to be pink with fancy " tattoos " on it.
Except from a little help here and there she did it all herself, including the colourspraying. ( ok, I helped there too )
Now her older sister wants to do a pink plane too.
Hopefully a promising start into modelmaking ...... (?) 🙂

Erik LeijdensVery nice mate 🙂 Can't wait till my daughter is old enough to build a model with me. 👍
17 August 2015, 12:14
AckiShe's got talent, like her father. Why don't we paint all our weapons in pink??? 👍
17 August 2015, 17:43
Hanno KleineckeLol, thanks Acki ! The Idea came from a picture she saw, of a pink Panther tank, that I took in Munster. 😄
17 August 2015, 17:47
Choppa Nuttaawhh how sweet !!
Looks good enough to eat mate, does it come with wafers ? 😄
17 August 2015, 18:04
Mathias CarlWell, we all have to start somehow.😉
Even if it´s pink: I like it.
And who knows... just like Hanno said:
Hopefully she´ll stick to this hobby. 🙂

Hanno Kleinecke@ Choppa: Whipped cream wouldn't be bad also.......
@Mathias: thats the straw I'm holding fast ! 🙂
17 August 2015, 18:28
Erik Leijdens@Hanno, well she's 17 months young now 🙂 Think I will build one for her one. A pink jet fighter on her room to protect her 😄
17 August 2015, 18:40
Hanno KleineckeOk you will have to wait a while longer then..... Good Idea though, what about a mobile' of pink fighters in 1/144 to be hung over her bed ? The more the better !😉

John CoverleyNothing wrong with pink aircraft, ( there's 2 in my albums). Pink is the new grey.🙂
18 August 2015, 02:03
Choppa NuttaHehe 😄
Couldn't resist a little photoshopping 😄
Could be a novel theme for a groupbuild, "Pudding Planes" paint your model like a pudding !!
Imagine trying to make your bombers look like they are made of chocolate sponge, all that clever stippling you would need to do haha 😄

Hanno KleineckeYummie ! (((((( 😄 ))))) A real bargain too! Do you mind if I put this piece of art in the album Choppa ? Love it !
18 August 2015, 06:47
Choppa NuttaHaha, but of course Hanno, I am most amused you like it 😄
I wonder what your kid thinks of it ? 🙂
Ben, this is a posh Pudding Plane so it will be for Lady Penelope😉
Anyhow, I must say I am amused by the idea of a "Pudding Planes" groupbuild !
Anyone else got a sweet tooth for this too ? 😄
18 August 2015, 13:46
Aghis BarberopoulosA more appropriate price would be 2.62, don't you think ? 🙂
18 August 2015, 18:23
Choppa NuttaAh dang it Aghis you are so right how come I didn't think of that !!?!?!?!??!
gimme a minute and I'll fix it 🙂
@Christian LOL, is that coz you is a cheapskate ? 😄
18 August 2015, 18:34
Choppa NuttaSorted ! 😄
Sorry but due to inflation we've had to raise our prices 😉

18 August 2015, 18:44
Christian BruerChoppa you wily old fox! Your inflation and cost rate is enormous. The price rise up by 31% because you rise up the amount and in total by 106% because you change the currency. Hope you'll never be the minister of finances, otherwise we all have to seal our wallets🙂
19 August 2015, 19:28
Choppa Nuttalol, external financial exertions forced my hand, sorry but nothing I could do but it need to be £2.62😉
Actually I should have priced it "m£ 2.62" 😄
19 August 2015, 19:35
AckiHe knows that modellers pay every price for something they might not need but want.😉
19 August 2015, 19:37
Choppa NuttaNext up is "Plane Pies" 😄
and after that we're on to "Cookie Cars", "Tasty Tanks" and "Savory Ships"
19 August 2015, 19:46
Choppa NuttaTime for a "Submarine Soufflé" perhaps .......
..... or maybe a "Battle Sandwich" 😄

Derek HuggettPut me down for an 'Eton Mess(erschmitt)'! (One for the 'Foodies'!) 🙂
5 August 2017, 22:24
Derek HuggettChoppa - Careful now...I live in Battle (East Sussex, 1066 and all that!). Our sandwiches are very nice, thank you!😉
5 August 2017, 22:36
Choppa Nuttahaha !! brilliant Derek 🙂
Hey Derek, we're almost neighbours mate,
I live about 20 miles away, near Newhaven 🙂
5 August 2017, 22:42
Lost_ErikLooks great. She did a good job on it. Both my daughters built. The older built aircraft and car models into her later teens.
6 August 2017, 01:53
Hanno KleineckeMy sandwich with mixed Pickelhauben and combat cucumber please, it does not necessarily have to be from Battle... 🙂 🙂 🙂
Thanks Erik, it' s been a while ago that she built it. At the moment she' working on a Jet that is supposed to be signal yellow when finished.......
6 August 2017, 07:53
Derek HuggettAnybody have any 'helicopter' flavored crisps? No, sorry, only 'plain' (plane)!! Oh, GROAN!!! 😠 (Much may be lost in translation!)
6 August 2017, 08:54
Derek HuggettNice when sprinkled on ice cream! (It's not arthritis then Choppa?)
6 August 2017, 09:40
Alec KThat is excellent!!! And very creative 👍. I like that you were able to shed the shackles of modeling conventions. Alas, I failed to do that when my daughter showed interest. But, my son is my modeling buddy thus far.
6 August 2017, 12:09
Alec KI agree, although I am not sure if it will stick - hanging with dad is cool now, until a girl comes along 😄
6 August 2017, 15:03
Choppa NuttaReally you should mount that one one a lolly pop stick as it looks good enough to eat !! 😄
10 August 2017, 18:04
Hanno KleineckeLime flavoured Icecream interceptor (by Pia,10 y.o.) finished !
10 August 2017, 18:05
Choppa Nuttanaturally, I would assume all aircraft in the LuftWAFFER are so equipped 😄
10 August 2017, 18:56
Hanno KleineckeYou assume right, as they were invented by Siegfried von Schokoeis, a lesser known cousin of Wernher von Braun . (((((😄))))
10 August 2017, 19:11
Maciej BellosBright colours really draw the attention of our kids, so my daughter's first kit was a rather dark glossy pink Spitfire (ofcourse a Spit and ofcourse pink). The next one will be surely the proper pink, and I am trying to convince her to go for a gold one.
Good work there Hanno!
10 August 2017, 19:14
Hanno KleineckeThank you Maciej ! She had a lot of fun going through the all the lttle cans and bottles in my clour shelve, picking the one she liked best.🙂
10 August 2017, 19:20
Choppa NuttaSiegfried von Schokoeis, I take it he also invented the Choc Ice too ? 😄 lol 😄
you mean Wiener von Braun. a much more savoury chap ......
10 August 2017, 19:24
Maciej BellosMine had made her mind at the very first moment I told her that we will build a plane: "I want to paint it pink!". I had to order the pink from a shop in Poland!!! And she had fun with all other colours she used for the interior and some exterior parts (for example shiny light blue propeller blades and white wheels).
10 August 2017, 19:25
Derek HuggettChoppa - If you want wafers with it, try the (Grumman) Albatross!!!
10 August 2017, 20:48
Derek HuggettIt's not any bleedin' flavour, it's a seabird innit! But you do get floats with it (just not the ice-cream type)! 🙂
10 August 2017, 21:17
Hanno KleineckePauline's (14 y.o.) unicorn research plane finished with Alclad White Aluminum. She started this one only out of devastating boredom during last week (rainy summer holiday week). Colours and decals of her choice. Most probably her first and last model ever..... 🙁 ( Still it was fun 🙂 )
13 August 2017, 18:20
Stephan RyllBest to do by this weather conditions I'm gettin webfoot 😉 but nice choise 👍
13 August 2017, 19:37
Choppa Nuttalooks pretty good, like the scheme 🙂
if NASA had unicorn research planes then that is definitely what they would look like 😄
13 August 2017, 20:33
Derek HuggettClass finish Hanno, very nice Pauline 👍 A loss to our community!🙂
