thought that might catch your interest, yes it was from a kit, I believe you have the moulds. I can send you a few pics next week so you dont have the same reg on your plane

Ah go on ! French colours!

Or the silver version !

Funny enough, as far as I know, the Air Corps Fouga Magister were all Cognac base decommissionned ones !

My Grd mother house was a turning point for the airbase... They were flying very low over the house pretty much all day ! Then, Epsilon came in, and fly much higher now... (and in silence compared to the Fouga!)

Good thing is that we were always the first to see all the displays etc etc, training and formation runs always took place in front of the house

Neighbourgs hated it... I loved it !

The irish team were called the Silver Swallows! Four Magisters. Very easy to spot with the day-glow nose and tip tanks.

Model version

The photo in your last post is not working Fred

As do most!! Microsoft think it's the only version.

English Mk1
US English MkII and as with microsofts various incarnations, not necessarily better

:twisted:

A bit more work. Freed the formers from the glass and tidied them up a bit ready for use in the fuselage.

The only former missing is F1 which I'm going to cut from 1/4" ply

Bill

I have been looking at some pics of the frogfoot in action, therefore, I think yours will need a stores package under each wing, so I have a great planes set of bombs etc which I used on an old F15 years ago, all you need to do is to add a set of rails and glue the stores on. They are light and stong, would look great in flight.

Sounds good John.

Add a sound system with gunfire and we're really rockin' :twisted: :twisted:

JohnPearson · « **Reply #26 on:** October 21, 2009, 23:38:08 PM »

Now your rockin Bill, I will hunt out the stores and drop them in with you soon.

Thanks John :clap: :clap:

billscottni · « **Reply #28 on:** October 22, 2009, 19:44:38 PM »

bit more action.

Formers glued in to 1/8 sides and battery box installed. Access to the battery is only available from under the wing, so it gets slid into the tube.

Hi Bill

Found a great paint scheme from 'Condor decals'. we could scan the decals and print a larger set for the frogfoot, see below :

What do you think, cool or what !
