Subject: Fouga Magister

Manufacturer: Airfix

Constructed in 1976

This was one of Airfix' better offerings. The phantom riveter of the 1960's had retired, having first had a bash at the canopy framing and surround, and although raised rather than engraved, the panel lines are restrained. Parts were crisply moulded and their fit precise. No filler at all was needed. The wing trailing edges and undercarriage doors are on the thick side.
