Very nice work as always, Isaac. Yoav's kits are amazing.

I am back, so I will continue the build shortly. Still building my Florov 4302 rocket plane.

Reverse canopy making
I have one of Yoav's canopies for this Fouga. However, I would like to build another version in the future if someone repaints it with the 1967 blue and brown color scheme armed with machine guns, rockets and small bombs. So until that time, I will need another canopy. So I decided to make my own mold so I can vacuform one in the future.
Here is the original vacuformed canopy what you need is Plaster of Paris ( or equivalent ) oil and a support stand for the upside down canopy coat the inside of the canopy and drain the excess mix the plaster to a thicker soupy consistency pour the plaster into the canopy add a wood pedestal on top ( this aids the vacuforming release process later on ) wait overnight for the plaster to harden remove the mold ( the oil will allow it to just slide out ) ; you may repair if needed any small bubble voids. here is the mold ready to vacuform when needed. that is all. Did I hint for a camouflaged Fouga version? Isaac

Canopy on
Here is the vacuformed canopy
and framed glued on Not one of my better fitting jobs. Some will argue it is the way I assembled the fuselage around the cockpit, but I think the long breaks while traveling causes me to be a bit too loose at some stages of the build. Anyhow, it is still OK. Isaac

Landing gear
The landing gear on this plane is very short and keeps the plane low to the ground. Not much is showing as it sits on the ground.
some reference pics: Note: there may be a debate if the strut and wheel hubs should be metallic or white color, but the reference I have seen including an in flight picture shows it metallic. I decided to add a very simple gear to the model. It consists of laminated card stock wheels, metal struts with paper wrapped around them, and I used the model's cut out doors in the extended position. I have no files to show. It was all on the go building. Here is the key to the gear support: a wooden dowel used as an axle and gear is on view of the model on wheels Isaac

Status pics
At this point, I have the wing tip fuel tanks, mass balances for the control surfaces and various scoops and small probes to finish.
Here is is so far. Isaac

Very nice build Isaac. It's an extremely unique looking aircraft with the V-stabilizers, and the slightly swept wings.
Gary
