Way to go, super nice job overall. She's a clever one, not everyone understands that the elevated hood will allow more cool air for the engine intake, and more efficient engine cooling. Cool Camaro.

The black triangles show careful layout for the big "X" on the hood. I hope we'll see more models from this young lady. Congratulations, Dad.

Better than the first one I ever did. Give her a thumbs up from me for a cool little hotrod.

 

Looks better than the cars I do now!

Nice work. 

Way to go, dad.  More importantly, way to go Castel daughter.  You should both be proud.  I didn't have the patience when I was 10. 

Nice work.

So my 10 yrs old daughter wanted to join me while I was building the Merkava. She did some painting and gluing but soon decided that she wanted to build her own model. Mrs Castel wasn't too happy that her sweet little child builds a machine of death and destruction, and frankly, my daughter wanted a car.

The colour choice is hers. The hood doesn't fit well because some engine parts were placed too high, but oh well... The windshields are painted clear blue because it looks more cool then the boring clear Smile...So here it is
