quang Posted October 18, 2021 Author Share Posted October 18, 2021 Adding up to Thierry and rafju’s input, this superb, 200+ page book from Serge Van Heertum released in 2007. Very interesting from a modeller’s view with insightful, instructive text profusely illustrated with detailed walk around photos and superb in-flight views. Text in english, french and dutch. Cheers, Quang Landrotten Highlander, Kagemusha, Rockie Yarwood and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quang Posted October 18, 2021 Author Share Posted October 18, 2021 So many references for a relatively unknown trainer plane ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Indeed! I progressively got all of them as I was hoping someone would finally release a large scale kit. It looks this was the right thing to do as some are now out of print. By the way, the Lela press French big book is the only one having a serious coverage of the IAF Fouga Magisters.

Mark_C Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I'd buy one in an instant. I've always wanted to do the one in Katanga. (And FLY - release the Tunnan like you promised you would! ) Christoffer Lindelav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark_C Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Thanks, Vince. Interesting it appears to have no identifying number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radub Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 The "Congo Fougas" are a very complex subject that can fill a book, a very sixties James Bond adventure kind of book. Those aicraft had no numbers because they were actually flown by mercenaries. Also, speaking of Fougas in Congo, a few years ago I saw an interesting documentary/film about a possible involvement of a Fouga in the shoting down of the aircraft carrying the UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjöld's. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_Case_Hammarskjöld Radu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_C Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Not all Avikat Fougas had no numbers. #92 and #93 show up in photos attributed to Avikat Magisters. #91 apparently crashed in June of '61, #92 was stuck in Elisabeth due to engine failure, and #93 appears to be the plane Moise Tshombe used: Then again, this was supposedly the only aircraft that could have been at Jadotville, and the one allegedly used to shoot down Dag Hammarskold's airplane. If Katanga only ever received 3 Magisters, then #93 is likely the same one I posted earlier, with the number perhaps stripped or painted over.

quang Posted October 3, 2022 Author Share Posted October 3, 2022 Seen this week-end at the IPMS Belgium nationals 01/10/22. Daco 1/32 Fouga Magister test shot built by IPMS crony Bob Verhegghen. Modeled is the infamous MT-35, the only Magister to sport the SEA camouflage back in 1984.
