“The article The Victor and the Vanquished in the February 2021 issue of FSM caused me to pull out an oldie from closet storage, built back in the 1990s,” says John. “The kit was the old Lindberg T-55, updated with some On the Mark photo-etched metal parts. The bollards and telephone pole were from an Italeri accessory pack, most of which is still gathering dust in my garage (unless I gave it away).” Inspired by a photo in Jim Mesko’s Ground War Desert Storm (Squadron/Signal, ISBN 978-0-897472-61-6), he carefully hand-painted the yellow Arabic script on the turret.
