Our PA609 kit faithfully reproduces the looks and the deployment mode of the full size. It contains the 12 airbrakes CNC machined from duraluminium (full size are cast aluminium). Each airbrake weighs only 7 grammes and the exact shape of the full size is minutely reproduced.

• 12 ea. CNC machined duraluminium airbrakes
• 1.5 mm CNC milled FGB parts
• 0,5 mm CNC milled FGB parts
• 3mm CNC milled Plywood parts
• all necessary screws and linkages
• illustrated manual and drawings

PA613 Set of airframe resin cast scale details

under development, details to be provided at a later date

PA614 Complete cockpit interior kit

under development, more details to be provided at a later date

This set will contain the vacformed cockpit tub and seats, the resin cast instrument panels, side consoles, throttle handles, control sticks and other scale details. We have been able to take dimensions of the cockpit interior, so we are able to offer a precision scale cockpit interior.

We have made a 3D scan of an original control stick (kindly loaned by Tine Soetaert). With the scan data, we could accurately reproduce the stick  to the correct scale with our CNC milling machine.

This set contains 2 ea. 210 x 297 mm and 1 ea. 210 x 42 mm waterslide decal sheets. Sheets #1 and #2 are printed on white decal film, sheet #3 on clear decal film. The set allows you to finish your Fouga Magister with all the markings of the Belgian Air Force MT-48 solo display aircraft as flown during the 2002-2005 airshow seasons. During that period, some minor changes were made but the set covers those variations. The demo colour scheme is almost identical to the one used on the Fougas of the Red Devils BAF aerobatic team between 1965 and 1977.

The correct Federal Standard colour codes for this version are:

• Black: FS 17038

• Yellow: FS 13538

• Red: FS11105

• White FS 17875

In 2002 and 2003, the solo display pilot Paul Rorive (who happens to be an RC modeler himself) was ranked Major (Maj), so the crew markings reflect this. As he promoted to Lieutenant-Colonel (LtCol) entering the 2004 season, the marking for the pilot name was adjusted (using a different font).

As a bonus, the decal set includes both the 2004 and 2005 official BAF leaflets with numerous colour photographs of the MT-48. These leaflets were distributed during the airshow presentations for public relations purposes. LtCol (Ret) Paul Rorive kindly donated a surplus stack of these leaflets. Thank you Paul for all the help you gave me!

Note: the decals are printed with a high quality laser printer which unfortunately cannot print white, so we use a trick to create the white lettering. A small area of the surrounding colour is printed on white decal sheet, leaving the lettering blank. The disadvantage is that the surrounding colour will not match the paint on the model 100%. This is acceptable for most modellers but the purist will want a better solution. That's why we also offer all the lettering as vinyl cut sets.

This upgrade set includes all white and black lettering, precision computer cut from self adhesive vinyl. It covers all the crew names (with both versions of the pilot's name) and all the MT-48 lettering. The vinyl is very thin: only 0,04 mm and fully opaque, so the result is truly professional and authentic. The lettering on the full size was done the same way.

This upgrade set includes both top wing Belgian roundels, precision computer cut from self adhesive vinyl in the correct colours. The vinyl is very thin: only 0,04 mm and fully opaque, so the result is truly professional and authentic. The roundels on the full size were done the same way. Small corners help to align the different colours.

Note that the red colour is not supplied, as the top of the wing should already be painted red.

This money saving combo set consist of sets PA615 + PA616 + PA617. Note that decal sheet #2 (roundels and MT-48 lettering) of set PA615 is not supplied in this combo as it already contains these in cut vinyl.

Dimensions approx. 1350 x 350 x 25 mm. Ideal tool for building the Fouga wings and stabs. It is made of balsa wood and offers low resistance against pins on insertion, yet parts are held firmly in place. We include a template on how to cut and glue the board to accommodate a complete Fouga wing panel. One building board is sufficient to build one wing panel at a time, two are required if you desire to build both wings at the same time.
