Kaleb Hartjes
Deforest, Wisconsin
Junior modeler Kaleb used aftermarket decals for the first time to mark a Revell 1/24 scale Ford GT as a Ford Chip Ganassi Racing car that raced at the 2019 24 Hours of Daytona. After thinning the diffuser fins, opening vents, and adding antennas, he painted the car with Tamiya white primer topped with Mr. Hobby clear gloss. The Indycal sheet provided the rest of the color. As a final touch, Kaleb stippled and flicked black and clear flat over the car to add spattered rubber.
