Kinetic 1:48 Fouga Magister

Interesting shot of those speed brakes. Happy to see this one being continued!

Thanks Medic!

Actually, there is a new Fouga on the block in 1:48 scale... And this is a kit I really would want, looks just superb!
It's AMK:s version of it... And gets very good scores a little bit everywhere where it's reviewed...

But it's pretty pricy...

But ok, first need to finish the Kinetic version... practising and then build a Fouga Magister for real.... :-)

This is an interesting bird. I never heard of one till I looked at this thread and then searched for it online. I'm in on this one.

Even with the issues you've encountered, this seems slightly more advanced than the old Heller/Airfix kit I built a few years back! Good to see it on the bench again.

The mega slow work with my Fouga continues...

Decided to attach all the PE parts in one go... Though not that many, but a suitable Friday evening program nevertheless..


Zap-a-Gap Medium is really good stuff, had the "Thin"-version before, but that just caused more problems than resolutions..
The airbrakes below the winfs fixed, on top of the wings were fixed already months ago..





Decided also to fix the front.. Still hesitating shall I leave it open or closed.. Some putty and sanding still ahead before the canopy can be glued..


If everything goes well this weekend planningwise, perhaps I will manage to prime it

That's far more PE than is healthy - great work!

Thanks Lyle,
and yes, it's a nice small twin-engined (!) jet!
