1.20 mtrs Fouga Magister PSS

(1/3) > >>

Fred:
While we are talking about PSS, here is a Jet, for a change !
And an original one, with the good old French Fouga Magister !  :D

The kit is in PHD (High Density polysthyrene), so more fragile than EPP, but much lighter... Good for low wind conditions.

Combat ? hmmmm Why not !  :P  :D

Here are some really quick photos !

From the first photo to the last one, around 3 hours of work.
15 mins sanding
30 mins assembly (I have used epoxy 5mins everywhere!)
2.15 hrs decorating !  :!:  :!:

So, here we go :









The wingtips tanks are made of round insulating foam, sanded and covered in blue tape... Must find another solution, don't look that great, but I've only spent 2 minutes on them...

I hope to have it finished for this week end National...

Left to do is the V tail, and put the 2 servos for the ailerons (you can see the white spots on top of the wings at the root where they are going)
Everything else is hidden under the canopy.

Stay tuned !  :D

Hey Fred,
That looks fantastic. . . but any Fouga Magister I ever saw was silver with dayglo orange tip-tanks :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Only joking!  Should look fantastic in the air.  I always liked the very long Vee tail planes and very low slung undercarriage on the Fouga.

I won't see it this weekend but hopefully soon :clap:

Fred:
Thanks Garry  :D

Was going to finish it yesterday, but emergency at work at around 9pm, had to rush to the office  :!:  :!:
Hope to finish it tonight now !

For the scheme, I know well the Irish one.. This is the scheme used by the Flying school based in Cognac. Used to see the Fouga flying all day from my Grd mother's house !  :D  

I have to admit that we had a bit of a laugh when we've learned that a country will buy some of the Fouga, because they where already out-dated for a school, imagine for a country's air force  :-({|=
Did not know that was Ireland at the time...  :P  :P

Fred:
Another hour of work yesterday evening.
Almost ready for the week end now !  :D



Looks much better with the Vtail fitted !





Left to do tonight :

2 ailerons servos to glue
Connect the elevators

And that's it !
Looks good, kind of like this scheme even if I'm not really happy with the covering  :!:  Did a really bad job here !  :oops:

So far, it looks like I will need to put some weight on the tail ! Really light machine !  :D

IceWind:
Great work!
It's looking great!

Did you build it form scratch? Or is this a kit that already comes with some part already formed?
