There's
a very good reason to build airplane models
and that is when you build a model you learn. You learn about aircraft
components, airplane types, aviation history, reading plans, blueprints,
types of glue and gluing techniques, paints, paint brush types, different
types of paints, decals and a lot more.
When you build a model you are
building your future. You are
preparing for that technical job of the future. You are learning
about technology and manufacturing just like the engineers who build the
high performance aircraft today. Many of these engineers started
out by building models and when you're putting you're model together you
can feel the strength it gives you, just like the aviation engineers.
And at the same time you are making the dream of your future come true.
Just look at what happens when
you complete a model. Your model
is placed on a shelf or hung from the ceiling, not thrown into a box and
treated like one of those junk toys. Models really are something
better than just a toy, they are like a trophy which shows your dedication
to work and detail. |
