Fred Bogs
Winterset, Iowa
Fred modeled an M4A1 during the Normandy Breakout in August 1944. He used an Asuka 1/35 scale kit as a base, modified the hedgerow cutter, added photo-etched metal tool tie-down straps and fittings, and made sandbags with two-part epoxy putty. A variety of paints and techniques went into finishing Fred's Sherman, including Tamiya lacquers, acrylic paints, and oil washes for highlights.
