Richard Schaffer
Sparta, Wisconsin
Wingnut Wings’ 1/32 scale Rumpler C.IV is plenty detailed out of the box, but that didn’t stop Richard from adding Taurus Models valves, lifters, sparkplugs, and scratchbuilt ignition wires and throttle assembly to the engine. HGW photo-etched metal took the cockpit up a notch, and he replaced the kit machine gun with a Gaspatch item. To paint the reconnaissance plane, Richard airbrushed on Vallejo and AK Interactive acrylics before he weathered it with artist oil washes.
