Gavin Rolstad
Eagan, Minnesota
Gaspatch turnbuckles stand out on Gavin’s Wingnut Wings 1/32 scale DH.9a “Ninak”, finished for post-war service in Iraq circa 1923-24. After laying down a gloss black primer, Gavin airbrushed Tamiya Flat Aluminum for the biplane’s doped aluminum fabric and Alclad II White Aluminum for the metal sections. He cut stencils and painted his own roundels instead of relying and decals to the job. Tamiya enamel washes and artist oils covered the DH.9a with dust and spotted it with oil stains.
