Kelly Quirk
Kearney, Missouri
As a fan of two-seat Hornets, Kelly was primed to build Hasegawa’s 1/48 scale F/A-18D. He replaced the kit cockpit with resin from Black Box and added thermal-protective coating to the bombs with Mr. Surfacer 500 stippled with a stiff brush. For the camouflage, he airbrushed Testors Model Master enamels and weathered with oil washes and pastels.
