My 5 year old son, Kang ask me one day if I could build ‘Skipper’ in the Disney Cartoon ‘Planes’ for him.

Off course! My pleasure to do that!

So I started with a HASEGAWA 1/72 one, scribed ALL the panel lines and dropped down the flaps as It appears in the film.

The cockpit is covered by the ‘eyes’ and doesn’t need any detail, but I still finished it in case Kang find out it someday he’d grown up….. 

Enjoy modelling!
