Fouga magister 1/4.5 moulded from scratch

Hi FUTURA57 , These flights were done with the only goal of making the perfect flying shot in the perfect lichting on the top side of the plane . This resulted in thesame figure over and over .As stated before , the weather conditions were everything but ideal, and sunny moments were rare that day. To give the photographer (Phil Cooke ) more time , throttle percentage was at minimum. Thanks for the comment ! Better video asap ! -

Forgot to mention: Little magnets help a lot to hold the Windows while the glue cures -

Hi Dave ! It's a regular seal and bond polyurethane , availeble in White, black , Grey . If you want the speedy one , look for glazing glue in the automotive sector , dries in 60 min. -

The rear canope part opens due to the suction. It's proved to be working... 20250411_222123.mp4 X -

Hi all ! Forgot all about the rudders ! Gave them thesame treatment followed by some weathering. I used dry sanding guide for this. You can apply as much as you want and take it away with a 3M Grey sanding sponge ! Next on the list (getting shorter! ) is putting everything together for some last inspection !! Then some clear coat , the canope windows fitting and go FLYING ! -

Hi all ! Thanks for the likes everyone !It keeps me going ! Right , the fuse !.... She's so beautyfull and i have to make it dirty : it's the opposite of what i'm trying to do in my daily automotive job !! making cars look shiny again. first thing i do is rub the paint into the panel lines and let it dry.Not long enough and you wipe the paint away , too long and it gets hard to wipe the exess off ! it's wall paint , water based, so you can wipe it off with a wet cloth , for a cerain time ! Then it gets very hard te remove. now you know it's scarey business !! Tomorow the rest and then the weathering... -

Hi all ! Finally started the weathering... You can reed as much as you want about techniques and tricks ,but it's very stressing when you're with the paint in your own hands ! Hope this turns out OK.... Maybe not so clear in the pics but it's a whole other wing now ! -
