The Little World

The rivets may have been numerous and the decals may have fought back…

But the little Heller 1/100 scale Fouga Magister is actually a nice model. It is now perched on one of the older plastic model stands – I save ’em all for just these occasions – and will never land.

But it does fly over the French countryside, as you can see. a very successful trainer and aerobatic aircraft, I hope that there are some of the Special Hobby 1/72 versions available somewhere, as a Patrouille de France plane in red would be very sweet.

The rockets attached to the wings are possibly in the wrong position but that is how Heller moulded the mounting holes. In any case they will be fired off at British tourists anyway before the plane lands.
