Beautiful scratchbuilding, my friend!!!

My ears almost hurt just looking at the engine--probably the loudest and most annoying sound I ever experienced on the flight line......but a good little engine nonetheless.

Interesting! At Aviodrome at Lelystad Airport in the Netherlands we have still a Fouga Magister flying around! You can make 1 hour flights for EURO 2250.-

I would like to thank you all for youe interest and your comments.Really glad you like it.
So,carrying on with my second part of the tzukit construction,which is the cockpit:

All of it was made up by scratched pieces as evergreen styrene  plastic sheets,rods,aluminum foil,photo etched from other sets for bezels and  roundels,blocks of resin and a lot of  epoxy glue and.....patience!

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...
