Phil Pignataro
Algonquin, Illinois
Phil’s Eduard 1/72 scale LET Z-37 Čmelák (Czech for “bumblebee”) was a showstopper. He made grab handles for the wing tanks and fuselage with copper wire and painted the red-and-yellow scheme with Tamiya acrylics. Phil airbrushed Tamiya Smoke along panel lines and judiciously used pastels and artist oil washes to weather.
