1/48 Revell Spirit of St. Louis

by Matthew Daisley (8 years old)

--------------------

 

The Basement at BAD Productions is where Matt directs all of our R&D. This year, the youngest member of the company has been the most productive. Matt has finished this Revell kit that his older brother won as a door prize at last years CAMS event. Painted throughout with acrylics, Tamiya silver was an adventure, as I had never used acrylic metallics and that left the boy pretty much learning on his own.... 3 coats later and a near perfect weathered fabric look was the result. A few decals for the swirly polished bit at the nose and "Bobs yer uncle"...
