22May 30, 2016opening up the cooling louvres...
23June 1, 2016added PE for mechanism control surfaces, fiddly but surprisingly sturdy when mounted
24June 1, 2016radius of cover and fuselage is different.... more filling and sanding... sigh
25June 1, 2016all scoop are separate... and thick... how to sand a part of 1.5x1.5x1mm to 0.5mm? due to how it is attached to the sprue no possibillity to do it before separating it from the sprue

Album info
My Construction of the Kinetic Fouga Magister. I want to build 1 in Belgian colours, but I don't know whether it will be the showbird or a bare metal one, and one in IDF markings.
