My build with my son slowed down a bit but we are closing in on the end. I finished up the final construction and took him out to paint it. Now, what color would you pick for a Fokker tri-plane? Red, right? Well my five year old son had a different opinion. He wanted dark blue to be the color and I wasn’t going to try to change his mind. After all, it is his airplane. I grabbed a can of Dark Sea Blue from the drawer and he painted his first airplane. I touched up a few spots when he was done but he did a great job.
As for decals, I scrounged up a few to make it “look cool”. It will in no way represent a real life airplane. And that is ok with me. As long as my son is happy, I’m happy.

I think they call it ‘artistic licence’!

Do you hold the plane by the stick when you are spraying so you don’t get the paint over the garden furniture?

I’d be a dead man if I did that. I hold it while I spray it.

Wow, it looks like you have quite an impressive collection of airplanes. I’m guessing you put many, many hours into those.
Thanks for liking my post about photography 101. Have a great day!
