Title: XF-15X Micro Eagle
Post by: Tophe on December 30, 2013, 10:06:50 AM

As I received for Christmas a 1/100 A-10 of Revell Easy Kit (to build without glue nor paint nor cutter nor putty), I received a F-15E Strike Eagle of the same family 1/100 Revell Easy Kit.

For my kid's enjoyment, I built it with him like Out Of Box, first, in a couple of minutes:

Then butcherizing occured, with scissors (to be finished with cutter):

The parts were put together with glue (still no paint nor putty, that was the challenge):

How did your child react to the butcherizing of the jet?

For the A-10, he cried "oh no, all broken", then for the F-15 (having seen the XA-10X cute result), he required: "can we cut it?". Then for the Eurofighter (next topic), he ordered: "I want you to cut it now, immediately!"...
