That's quite a collection. Are they snap-tite kits or regular glue kits?

My daughter is building her first kit. A 1/72 half-track. Wonder what color she'll paint it

All snap and the 68' mustang is a screw together kit{and she picked it out!}.
..and if your lucky, "stock" color!

Sorry, I never got to the pics tonight...Will do tomorrow!
As for the pink firetruck.......it just don't seem right!...but it made her happy, and that's all that matters I guess!
{I won't ever paint "mine" that way because I'd get laughed out of the scale firehouse or here if I did, but.......}

She did one fantastic job ! Better then some of us

looks like good old Dad has some competition happening here ! It's great to see young female modellers are out there and I hope she will share more of her work with us
I'm sure once she shows you them puppy dog eyes , a soft spot will hit and out comes the camera ....................................
