Just received the December issue of FSM, and as a novice builder, I wanted to say thanks for two articles in particular.
One is Joe Hudson's article on how to paint guns. The step by step process was clear, and very helpful.
The other is Pat Villareal's masking made easy. Again, the step by step process was clear, and the thought process explained well. I have only masked two canopies, and this process is much easier than what I ended up doing.
The whole magazine is fantastic, and I eagerly devour each issue when it arrives. Just wanted to say thanks for helping out newer modelers.
