Platt tells all

Model Airplane News, Aug 1998 by Chianelli, Chris

Dave Platt has been called "Mr. Scale" for as long as I've been building airplanes.

This title is richly deserved, as he has won just about every scale award imaginable, and his models often generate "How did he do that?" comments from admirers. Well, Dave has decided to take pity on us and share some of his secrets in his new video series called "Scale Modeling's Black Art." "Secrets of Weathering" is an absolute must for those who want to give their models that authentic look; Dave eloquently marches us through the varied techniques he used to weather his incredible new T-28.
