At the IPMS/USA National Convention contest, Basic Build means building a plastic kit straight from the box. However, as Ted proves, that doesn’t mean basic results. Using AK Interactive acrylics, he primed a Tamiya 1/48 scale Crusader Mk.III antiaircraft tank with flat black and applied flat white highlights. After overspraying the pre-shading with British green, he highlighted edges with a thin layer of tan.
