“I call it a mixed scale commemorative,” says Phil of his forced-perspective view of a Revell 1/63 scale Doolittle B-25 over Trumpeter’s 1/700 scale USS Hornet. “The models are painted with Testors rattle-can and brush colors and Humbrol brush acrylics. The base is Rust-Oleum navy blue. FSM provided plenty of know-how, including mounting aircraft on dowels, scale weathering, and the wonders of Pledge Future floor polish. I am looking forward to donating this project to a local veterans’ organization.”
