thierry laurent Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 By the way, the curator of the Stampe & Vertongen museum published a very nice 64 pages Fouga Magister walkaround book of the flying plane they own. I purchased it yesterday from the IPMS Antwerpen stand for 15 euros. Highly recommended ! Kagemusha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the update Tnierry. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 There was a post on a Britmodeller thread, that I meant to post here, but forgot, but here it is, posted September 13 by Branky: "Spoke with Danny Coremans about this recently (Less than 3 weeks ago) and the transport costs of getting the stuff to europe from China is currently to high so for the time being it has been put on Ice. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Mid-2021 prices to get a container from China were still eight times higher than they were before the Covid... This will change but will take time and very probably we will never go back to 2019 status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, I've seen news items regarding small businesses over here unable to transport their goods from China because the costs are unviable. Any chance you could post a few phots of the book Thierry, had a look on the museum website, but there's nothing there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Yes Andy. I will try to find a little bit of time in the next days to cover that book and the new AIMS Spit sets I got last week. Fanes and Kagemusha 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMcD Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Good to know the project is not dead. May be frozen but at least not dead. In a time when even big companies redesign their strategies and especially refrain from producing big kits, it is only natural that small companies try to survive and keep their projects alive. Producing a kit is more expensive than many people think and can easily crush a small company if not correctly handled. That is why they must be supported. I'm sure DACO will come out with their Fouga Magister somehow and someday... either under their brand or maybe with some collaboration. This has been a very nice project to kill and the owners will do their best to bring it I'm sure. Stevepd and frank83 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quang Posted October 17, 2021 Author Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) I was at the IPMS Belgium Nationals yesterday saturday.

Royboy Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I'm pleased that this project is still alive and I wish Danny the best of luck with it's eventual release. I was just talking about this a couple of weeks ago with a good friend of mine, hoping it was still possible. When you make this investment and it's just sitting somewhere, not recouping it must be very frustrating for him. However I'm still waiting patiently like everyone else here, the experts say the shipping system might reset itself in 2023 so let's hope. .

frank83 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Looking forward to that. I'm just curious, is it the tooling/moulds they wish to transport here in Europe or is it the produced kits in forms of final product whose transportation costs are high and they are waiting for the freight prices to go down before they start production in China?

thierry laurent Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I did not discuss that but I do not think his idea was to move the molds. This is not a normal practice. Another problem is the very, very high cost of storage in China. This is not fostered by the authorities either and results in direct shipping in normal conditions. In Covid situation this lack of stock worsened the availability of many manufactured products as there is no buffer to absorb production issues.

rafju Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Hi All About books on the subject: This one is also of a great interest: (but in french) "Magister dixit". L'Histoire du Fouga et de ses dérivés. | Avions-Bateaux.com Mise en page 1 (avions-bateaux.com) and I would recommend the book from Joe Maxwell and "Radub": Fouga Magister by Joe Maxwell, Radu Brinzan | Book (diecastmates.com) As many here, can't wait for the kit!!!!!!!!!!
