Fouga Magister
1/32nd scale kit
The Fouga Magister had been planned for several years to be made into a model kit by DACO Products. Originally, it was intended to be a 1/48 scale kit, but when Kinetic and AMK brought theirs to market, it was decided to expand the project to a larger scale: 1/32. However, this meant that almost all the parts had to be redesigned, with much more detail and twice as many parts...
Although this project took about 10 years to complete, yes some years were 'lost' due to the painful design of the instruction sheets and the research for the decals artwork, but during September 2024 - as Special for the 35th Anniversary of DACO Products - this beautiful kit is finally available.
This kit contains over 570 parts (400 unique parts), with specific parts for six different cockpit versions, with separate engines, detailed guns and other armaments, but most importantly: it is accurate!
Only 250 "white cover boxed" kits have been initially produced for this special event, and with over 200 people sending a vote with around 300 kits requested: don't hesitate too long if you want your copy at your workbench!
And even if I had hoped to keep the price of this Fouga kit below 100 euros, the war in Gaza and the related attacks on cargo ships in the Red Sea beyond Yemen - which force sea freight has to go around South Africa - an additional 25 euros has to be asked to compensate for the extra costs of shipping them to Belgium...
The decal sheet will cover detailed markings for four Belgian Fougas (period 1960-'65, 1965-'80, 1980-'96 and MT05 Red Devils), one French and one German Fouga
(decal sheet still needs to be designed and printed so it will be send afterwards)
It went crazy the last week, but all 250 kits of the first batch are now sold out ...
A second run will be ordered soon, but this might take some time.
