48 FineScale Modeler October 2019

STEVE MOSKOVSKY
FISHERS, INDIANA
Steve enhanced Tamiya’s 1/48 scale F-14A
with Eduard photo-etched metal cockpit
details. Aftermarket decals from Furball pro-
vided the Strike Fighter Squadron 41 (VF-41)
“Black Aces” high-visibility scheme. The subtle
weathering is thanks to pre- and post-shad-
ing coupled with salt masking.

▶ CHARLIE MILLER
GARLAND, TEXAS
Charlie built this B-52D following the article
“Painting Monogram’s 1/72 scale BUFF” by
Paul Boyer, found in the February 2018 FSM.
He then mounted the beast on a 32-x-41-inch
frame meant to display a jersey. The back-
ground is a Fastsigns vinyl print. The model
has threaded inserts in the fuselage and
wingtips that connect it to the frame with
brass stand-offs. Charlie gifted this wall-hang-
ing model to his grandson who is a B-52 avi-
onics/navigation airman at Barksdale Air
Force Base in Louisiana.
