Thread: airfix fouga magister

Hi Tony, yet another great little model you've built and all for a couple of squid. Nice one, and I take my hat off to you with the paint job. Lovely finish! You should do some reviews of your models mate (only cos I campaigned for the new section but alas no posts so far) ;)

I on the other hand, am still waiting on that elusive Typhi... can't wait.
Small mention in Octobers' Scale Aviation Modeller International where I quote, "...the other treat on the cards from Revell is the 1/32 Eurofighter, test shots of which have been doing the rounds, and if the built up item is not on display at Telford this year then we will all be very surprised."

Oh, guess where I'm going on 8th November...? Telford here I come :)

cheers chris, yes i thought about doing a review cause i was so impressed by the kit but i thought it might not be very useful what with it being out of production,maybe the reviews should be for kits that can be easily found,or currently in production?Ill get one on there soon though!!thanks for the comments ,cheers tony

Just saw this, been a bit busy with work. Very nice job, finished in yellow too. Not the easiest colour to use and it has "turned out lovely" as my nan used to say.
Cheers
Steve

thanks,steve ,i was chuffed with it too .I know what you mean about airbrushing yellow,its terrible for coverage isnt it,thats why i decided to use an aerosol i had left over from when i had a yellow fiat seicento, great coverage and a good match for chrome yellow too.Ive just got another aerosol in french blue for a caudron 450 racer ive got in the to do pile,im sure the bloke in the car spares shop thinks im a graffitti artist !! Cheers tony

Me again. When I lived in California I did signwriting and lettered one of these things for a pilot who did airshows with it. Even did "lomchovoks" however it is spelled... means headache I think. Cheers, Bill

hi bill ,from a sunny england, i think the pilot was probably referring to the noise these planes made.Apparently it was ear splitting!! even though the two jet engines are only small and not that powerful.I think that the cessna a37 'tweet' used them too. Have a look on youtube for fouga magister start up ,youll soon see what i mean,just get ready to turn the volume down though!!!! cheers tony

Tony,

Another superb model, how many coats of Yellow did you apply? Must be very difficult getting the coverage you achieved without swamping molding detail. Keep up the great work Derek

hi derek, only one coat ,straight from the aerosol.I primed it first though with halfords grey primer ,then the hycote acrylic covers brilliantly, ive used their silver to great effect too . cheers tony
