This is a very nostalgic topic for me. My father loved those when I was a kid. We built some helicopters and something else when I was a kid. I'm saying "we", but it was mostly he. I was too young, do not remember much. Though from what I remember, I was not interested much in it to start with.
I regret that last notion. I was dumb as a kid. I could've probably learn a lot about both building model kits and painting them if I were more into it. Not to mention that I could've probably form a better bond with my father.
Still not too late, I guess. I'm... trying my best to make up for it, but it feels that neither I nor he have much free time these days around.
