Philip De Keyser@Christian, The fit of the model is good, but it is a simple Kit and there has to be some work done to lift it up to a certain level, it has to be sanded off all raesed Panellines and should be drawn again, but there is definitely something to make a nice one out of this oldtimer
@David, Roy and Murad, thanks for the nice comment mates

Dirk HeyerHi Phillip,
truly a nice colourful sheme! Your model is assembled as always very clean.
Rescriping of all panels was all the work worth.
Well done, Phillip!

Christian KellerHi Philipp, this is a real old kit and you made it superb, especially the base is cool 🙂

Aaron LilesThat looks great Philip, excellent!! I really like the different tones / shades of red; brings it to life. May I ask how you achieved this? Did you use different colour primer / base coat or apply filters to the red? I have a couple of one colour builds I'm hoping to get started in the near future and wondering what the best way to break the flat one colour look, if you know what I mean? Thanks

Philip De Keyser@Guido, The decals are not thin enough and they take difficult curves to, all decals must be cut out from the decal sheet and in scale 1/72, this is not so evident, there must first be a decal put as surface this decal is white, then the clear decal on top of this white decal, the drawing of the decals is not finely finished
@Milk trip, To get some more life in the red paint, I used black paint, when the primer is put on, now you can put the black paint on the desired panels, then you put the red paint on it and you will notice that there is obviously a difference in tone in the red paint, this can of course be done with any dark color or the opposite with a paler tint
@all mates, I am very honored to have all these compliments on the base, this is a homemade base and allows for really not much but I have to admit that the plane and the base blends perfect together
Thanks for al the compliments

John BolligNice model, Phil
I can say that I built the kit back in the 1980's and it was a nice kit. Liked the way that you spiced up the interior. Had mine painted blue and used old enamels by testors.

Zimmermaniacjust got my own kit in 1/48, the new kinetic ( 2 kits in the box ) hope it's gonna come out half as nice as yours Phill, then I'll be satisfied 🙂

Album info
This is my last project I've completed in the scale 1/72, it is the legendary Fouga Magister of the stunt team the Red Devils, the kit itself is from Airfix as you already had seen, I’ve got placed a Pavla cockpit and it already looks a lot better, the saw the canopy open so that there are still things to see was of Pavla cockpit, the decals are from Hahan but I personally don't find this one of the best quality, the paint I used is from Humbroll that I have in my stash.
Have fun with the pictures and greetz from Belgium, Phil
