Randomly became interested in planes a few months back and after that I wanted to try building a model of one myself. Then my dad who also used to be into building models (though more amateur-ishly) was pretty glad I picked up the hobby after him. I wanted to try going a bit more professional than him so for the first few weeks of buying the F-2 model kit it just kind of sat on the shelf while I gathered the tools, everything from an airbrush to a compressor and the paints. Then painstakingly I went through the building and painting process and after much trial and error (even having to paint a torn decal) it was finally (somewhat) finished. Quite happy how it turned out for a first build. I've got a few more kits bought by now, from a Fokker Dr.1 to a B-52 so I'm quite excited to do them too. Just wanted to share it here :)
