Timothy Holland
Leonardtown, Maryland
Bravely, Timothy built a Revell 1/28 scale Camel and finished it as a Navy scout plane assigned to the USS Texas (BB-35) in 1919. He added a scratchbuilt hydroplane, rigged the model with various diameters of nylon thread, and added photo-etched metal details to improve the cockpit and control surfaces. The bureau number was made from white decal paper using a vinyl cutter. Timothy primed to find imperfections, airbrushed the Camel with battleship gray, masked to paint the tail stripes, and picked out details with a brush.
