Dr. (Col.) Michael Zapor, Germantown, Maryland
Michael built a 1/35 scale Russian T-62 Model 1972 by Trumpeter, painted it with Model Master enamels, and posed it on Verlinden’s Street of Baghdad diorama base. “I served as an Army physician in both Iraq and Afghanistan,” he says, “and the wrecked remains of these Soviet tanks were commonplace in both countries.”
