| 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 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.
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. |
