Blast from the past Robin Olds Mig Killer Phantom built by Dave Boksanski

Another model built by Boh for Scale Modeler.   If you have been following this blog you will see that Boh was prolific model builder.  Not much was a change to him.  He would jump into the model
build while puffing on his big cigar.  When I would come by to build models with him. I could tell by the cloud of cigar smoke as to how the build was  going.   Dave sure loved his cigars.

The kit was the 1/72 revell F-4C kit.  In 1973 it was the best Phantom around at that time.  The model was sanded down to remove the surface details and rivets.   The model was scribe with a number 11 exacto blade.  I can hear the screams.. OMG with an exacto blade.   It would be several year later when Al Mason of  Bare metal foil would bring out his scribing tools.  I believe he was the first to make a commercial scribing tool.    How far we have come...  Enjoy thanks to Charlie Dunton for finding the article for the blog.
