Johann Graff
Port Ludlow, Washington

Johann shares his Airfix 1/72 scale Tomahawk that he built from a FineScale Modeler Modeler’s Toolbox: Airbrushing Basics. “This build was a lot of firsts for me,” he says. “The first time using an airbrush, putty, and scribing lines. Early in the build, it was obvious the wing roots of the Tomahawk had an excessive gap that would detract from the overall look. Taking a deep breath, I broke out the brand-new tube of putty and went at it. It would be a kindness to describe the initial results as looking as if a cement truck exploded on it. Nevertheless, it cleaned up surprisingly well and, using the back of the hobby knife blade, I was able to bring out some of the panel lines that had been filled in. The steep learning curve of a double-action airbrush is not a myth. However, the included book as well as the Airbrushing with Aaron videos did an excellent job to prepare me for what was coming. I had a blast learning how to use Silly Putty to create the camouflage pattern. Still amazes me to see the results.”
