Just for giggles - they come unpainted.
Do kids actually build & paint models anymore? :confused:

I'm trying to get my sone to buy me a Chevelle! I remember building one of my first models with my Dad, a P51 Mustang. To this day a picture of one stops me in my tracks. Models, a lost art form.

Truely a lost art. All that model cement is probably why I am what I am today. As a kid I recall at one point having over 100 models, and a P51 Mustang was one of them. Could deliver newspapers fast enough to get money for the next must have. Kept a few for many many years but alas I think they are all gone. Sad, they would probably be priceless if I was ever elected president or did something important ya know.
Tried to build a model a couple years ago, you can't even buy the good glue anymore! How are kids suppose to grow up like us without good glue? I ask ya?

I forgot about that glue. Now I know why the landing gear ended up on the canopy! I wish I had kept some of those models too.

Maybe some of the modern "gangstas" will buy these models and learn to stop holding their guns sideways!
