Oh Heck, Kitey,
The dreaded child syndrome strikes again. If you can rescue it, do so. If it is a total loss, then put it all on the learning curve of modelling experience.
I was lucky with my kids, never lost a model to them, but I did to the dog, who decided the front end of a Junkers Ju-88 was more tasty than his food.
Just try to think ahead, and prepare for the improbable to happen, ...........it usually does.
This model only goes to show what a great modeller you are,....................................the kids couldn't get enough of it!
Commiserations, but really good modelling skills apparent.
Cheers,
