Aircraft Modeling / Re: Converting a Fouga Magister into a Tzoukit in 1/48

I'm really impressed by your work. It's fantastic! Nice build, of a so sympathix aircraft.

For the anecdot, Belgian Fougas were nicknamed "the Belgian submarines" because the use of a periscope/episcope by the monitor (placed on rear seat) to see forward the aircraft...

Splendid. Had similar problems of fragile little parts with 1/72 Roden kits...

Easy to solve And better to cut plastic then flash

Agreed and I confirm...

What did you cover on the fuselage side mate?

Good eye catching, mate!
Well, when I removed the exhausts, my razor blade removed also a little bit of matter... So, I'm not masking a default of the kit but better correcting an error of the builder...

Little progress today, I was too tired after a hard week at the office, and suffering from back pain...

Just have put Squadron Green putty (diluted with aceton) but also Vallejo putty. Even with the window open, the vapors of aceton were incommodating today.

Bah! Tomorrow will be another day!

Knowing the "Heller Museum" serie, I admire your work: the finished build is very clean!

Nice realisation. Did not know that Yugoslavia owned Potez 631...

Nice and clean work.Very methodically done.Well done pall.
What about the ph and plastic engine cover that was damaged?
What are you going to do?Felt sorry seeing that accident.
But Ia m sure with your strong,iron patience you will find a solution.
 

Thank you!
Well, the pE engine cover is definitively destroyed. The plastic part too, but without causing any problem: two plastic engine covers were provided in the kit ans I was intelligent enough to use, for the PE setting, the engine cover not used on "my" Spad - So the plastic correct engine cover is safe and I've already worked on it.
Now that build is actually put aside, I'm waiting for the decals. Pheon Models said me that there was little demand for a Belgian decal sheet... And as that Spad was build for a WWI Group Build on a French forum, I preferred to put aside this one and so doing to have more time to work on a Fokker triplane (this time: Eduard 1/48 )

Today I've prepared the 4 colours lozenges and blue ribs from Doug Baumann (made .pdf with long bands of lozenges and one with the ribs). Then I tried to print the lozenges on clear decal sheet paper - a disaster! Maybe my printer is too old (HP930); maybe the decal sheet paper I received from a friend is too old or not for inkjet printers...
So OK, my D.VII is actually placed in reserve; next month I will buy laser decal sheets...

Well, I really wish to build a Belgian one. And the second kit of the box will be German.
