Ryan Young
Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Ryan modified a Kinetic 1/48 scale CF-18A to display an aircraft from the 1991 Gulf War. If you look closely, you can see the Cyrillic writing on the lex (leading edge extension) fences that reads "Check Six," which he painted with Mr. Color lacquer paints. Ryan weathered the aircraft with artist oils and enamel using a black base and marbling technique. The decals to depict this specific aircraft came from Leading Edge, and he employed various resin and 3D-printed accessories for the armament, wheels, pitot tubes, and cockpit.
