Converting a Fouga Magister into a Tzoukit in 1/48
« on: June 30, 2011, 11:22:59 PM »
Hi from Greece. :-wave
First of all I would like to congratulate all of you for this magnificent site. :-clap
An incomplete project I left some time ago due to lack of info,was a conversion of 1/48 Koster Aero Enterprises Fouga Magister into a Tzoukit.
A lot of work and detailing thanks to Isaac's walkaround photos and many thanks to all people that helped me by providing useful information has been done,and this site with this very nice dedication to Hatzerim museum which made my mind to grab it again.Will it be finnished?   :-roll
We'll see. :-think
At the moment cockpit and turbomeca marbore engine is finished as well as some control panels are opened and avionic details are installed.
So be patient,stay tuned and please feel free to comment or ask.
Thank you.
