Hi friends,
rmsk2000: yes you've gotten the point. This step of the build was the trickiest one, but installing the canopy was not bad either …
Michael Mash: Fouga Magister jet-trainer for the French Air Force was derived from the Fouga “Sylphe” glider.

An other version of the Magister was designed for the French aircraft-carriers, it was named “Zephir”, had an arresting hook but, failing to have folding wings, it could not permanently stay aboard the carriers.

YOAV: Sure, one day I must try your model. You can notice that I already have used your seats and panel controls in my model. I remember that, when you published it, I asked you if it was possible to get a repainted French version. You said that, besides the different livery there also were significant differences around the rear part of the canopy. I must add that I know how much easy to build your models are. I have already built the Super-Mystère B-2 repainted by Yaron (12th Escadre / Cambrai Air Force base) and I have started building the Mirage III with the Yellow triangles on the wings. By the way, are these 'high visibility” triangles used on planes in training units? Otherwise, which purpose are they for?
Erik Zwaan: See my response to Yoav. Yes, building Yoav's models is trully a piece of cake !!
To all of you, thanks a lot for you friendly comments, I appreciate it.
