I did not use any aftermarket parts and I just made it out of box.

This is my memorable model because it is the first one since I came back to making a scale models after I quit 30 years ago. I confess that I tried two kits before assembling this F-16, but I failed and didn't continue. My skill and tools were so poor is one reason. And another was that I unfortunately chose the kits whose parts don't fit well and needed too much effort. Of course many modelers who have excellent skill can get over such things, but for beginners like myself, it was hard work. Then, I found ARC and I learned to select good quality kit especially for beginners. 

I made this F-16 out of the box, but I found it was an amazingly good mark when I took photos even though the model is somewhat boring. I would like to thank everyone on ARC.

I'm going to submit my second and subsequent models to ARC. Thank you.
