Ted Kawahara
Palos Verdes Estates, California
Ted, featuring a Tamiya 1/35 scale kit, depicted an M41 Walker Bulldog overrun by Vietcong. Olive drab serves as the base color, and Ted lightened it with tan to approximate sun-fading. He built a frame for a sun shield from copper wire, and made a ragged tarp from Magic-Sculpt, and used an acupuncture needle as an antenna. Ted marked the Bulldog for the Army of the Republic of Vietnam with aftermarket decals.
