Rick Hambel
Winfield, Illinois
To deploy a Tamiya 1/35 scale M41 Walker Bulldog to Vietnam, Rick up-armored the turret with epoxy-putty sandbags, modeled rocket ricochet damage on the glacis, formed a mantlet cover with glue-soaked tissue, and added stowage. He painted the light tank with Vallejo acrylics and applied the characteristic Vietnam red mud with a mix of Vallejo paint and pigments.
