The Academy kit would be a great one if she wanted to "do it alllllllll by myself, Dad!" with a little help when it came to the gluing, of course.
On the other hand, my daughter and I built the Revell Titanic with her doing almost all of the work. She got a real thrill out of masking off the hull for the red and black sections, then spray painting them, and she by-God was determined to brush paint all the small stuff all by herself. She was a few years older than yours, but still, if you stick to acrylics (oh the joys of water cleanup!) and throttle your urge to "help" more than absolutely necessary, you may launch a new modeling career.
P.S. - A good father-daughter activity is to watch the movie Titanic together again, strictly for research purposes, you understand ...
