Steve Hustad
Eden Prairie, Minnesota
Steve modeled a MAC Distribution 1/72 World War I Phönix D.II as flown by Korporal Otto Kullas of Flik 55J in May/June 1918. Steve cut and repositioned the control surfaces, scratchbuilt the interior, modified a Roden Mercedes 160 hp engine for the front end, marked it with Americal and Gryphon decals, and used .005-inch stainless steel wire for rigging.
