Łukasz Gliński Indeed the metallic effect looks very nice I have to admit

Peter Hardy I have never heard of the Fouga Magister before, no surprise there, but there is so much visual interest in such a tiny plane. Top job Marty! Love the metalised red as well. Might have been option "C" but has worked out very well. Congrats on a small but significantly shark-mouthless aeroplane.

Lode Schildermans Martin, I haven't got a clue about colors on planes, but it looks so nice and well done. Don't change anything. Top work

Martin Oostrom Thank you gents. Peter, I like your C option. I'll keep that in mind for whenever I deviate from the beaten path again. Probably each next build
Spanjaard, you're so right. I can't help it nobody ever took any pictures of the Magister with the red paint.....
As is my custom I created an album for the completed model. It can be found here: Mahoo76

Havar Robertsen Really cool. Like how it hugs the ground.

Clifford Keesler Nice one Martin.

Martin Oostrom Again thanks. Havar it just is a unique looking plane. Low slung, the V-tail, the large boxy canopy. Just special.

Łukasz Gliński Nice finish , wish I could spray alu paint that smooth.

Martin Oostrom Next one is underway!

Spanjaard Martin model factory attacking again great to see the next in the bench

Martin Oostrom Nice kit, but so many places to sand. If you're repainting the chrome, take your time polishing the parts, THEN you get a great finish. My 'orange' alclad2.com/finishes/candy/alc-704-candy-orange-enamel/ actually is more of a red. I guess I applied too many layers. It's a very rich colour none the less.
Due to time constraints I didn't have the time to polish everything, luckily all the bodywork was already finished.

Spanjaard And you did a great job, specially doing it in speedy Gonzalez modus. Beautifully done. A fantastic gift

Bart Goesaert Looking very good, what is the white block at the steer?

Peter Hardy Very nice all round Marty. Love the aluminium on the engine cases.

Martin Oostrom I'm quite proud of it considering the circumstances.
Peter, Alclad gives great results. Drawbacks are the smell and the long time for curing.
Bart, that's the semi transparent container for the brake fluid. Left handle is clutch, right handle is front brakes.

Martin Oostrom Added some daylight outside pictures. Last chance as tomorrow she'll be joining my father in law on his last trip.

Spanjaard big hug from Amsterdam Martin. you did good, in many aspects.

Bart Goesaert Splendid work

Alberto Michieletto Beautiful fouga

Spanjaard very nice job Martin

Timothy Heimer Ditto , so sorry to hear!

Greg Baker My heartfelt condolences to you and your family.

Wim van der Luijt Gecondoleerd Martin, kan me voorstellen dat dit je zwaarste project ooit. Wel iets om aan terug te denken en zelfs trots op te zijn. Mooi dat je dit hebt gedeeld met ons....

Greg Baker That's what I was going to say... but Wim took the words out of my mouth...

Martin Oostrom Thanks once more guys. Much appreciated. I'm very happy I got the bike finished just in time, even though it meant working overtime until 1 in the night.

Bart Goesaert cincere condoleances to you and your family...

Spanjaard Time well spent in any case, but specially if you managed the main goal that was getting an smile from him

Kerry Cox I am sure your going to celebrate his life and all his achievements Martin. As by the sounds of things, he was one hell of a man. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
Amen.

Peter Hardy Does Mrs. Oostrom know about this purchase?

Martin Oostrom Yes. I confessed my moment of weakness today. Got off without bodily harm
