Tom Choy
Champaign, Illinois
Tom added masking-tape seat belts to the ejection seat of a Trumpeter 1/72 scale Chengdu J-10A Vigorous Dragon and painted the Chinese fighter with Vallejo and Tamiya acrylics. He weathered with an artist-oil wash for the panel lines and used oil paints and pastels for stains, keeping the effects light since he was modeling one of the prototypes.
