Ted Oktabetz
Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Modeling a Vietnam War U.S. Army 2 1/2-ton gun truck, Ted began with an AFV Club kit and swapped out the quad .50-caliber gun for one from a Dragon kit. He also added a gun shield, replaced the ammo boxes on the quad, and scattered spent shells in the truck bed. Ted sprayed the truck with Tamiya Fine Primer directly from the aerosol can, pre-shaded, and then airbrushed final colors. Pigments and washes helped place the “War Wagon” in theater.
