David Qu
joins us
with his very nicely done 1/48
Academy F-16.
This is David's first model using an airbrush and when you read his
article you will see he had the classic problems we all get when
building a model and things don't go right. I do like how his
F-16 turned out and I look forward to seeing more of his models on
ARC in the future.

in a multi-shade baremetal finish.
