Kip Rudge
Lynchburg, Virginia
Kip’s 1/35 scale M47 represents the French tank used during the 1956 Suez Crisis. His changes to the Takom kit include scratchbuilt grab handles, an infantry rack on the rear, and 3D-printed exhaust pipes. Over lacquer primer, he airbrushed two to three layers of sand camouflage, varying the density of effect.
