I teach sixth grade reading and I recently brought some models to show my
students. Kaycee, one of my best, was disappointed none were pink and
challenged me to build one. Well, I figured no self respecting, macho
model builder is going to build an airplane that's PINK, but a challenge
is a challenge. After careful thought I chose the Academy 1/72 Scale
Mustang and decided to make it a ficticious racer from the fifties. To pay
homage to Kaycee I thought I would customize it a bit. I used
her favorite number, "2" and the N number signifies her
birthday 2-22-95. I let her pick the nose art from a few decal
selections, see liked the Rebel Queen. Anyhow, I took it to the NCT in
Grapvine on 26 May 07 and it it scored a third place in the civilian
category. I wanted to say thanks to Kaycee for the challenge and getting
me to build a unique aircraft.
