Ed Boll
Oracle, Arizona
Ed had his work cut out for him correcting a Glencoe reissue of an ITC 1/54 scale Grumman J2F Duck. He corrected the rudder with a 1-degree offset to port; sanded off all raised panel lines, saucer-sized rivets, and embossed national insignia; and re-scribed panel lines and restored the wings. After all that, painting with Testors Gloss Chrome Yellow and various Metalizer colors was easy. But still up for more, Ed constructed a beaching dolly from dimensional styrene and hand-made wire wheels.
