Kevin Pletch
Woodstock, Illinois
Kevin dressed his Tamiya 1/48 scale McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II as a Vietnam-era “MiG magnet” — painted in bright colors so enemy fighters would remember who shot them down, if they survived. He built the kit out of the box and painted the model with Tamiya and Vallejo acrylics over Mr. Surfacer 1500 primer. Kevin used masks on the canopies and post-shaded for heightened visual interest.
