Kinetic Aircraft 1/48 Fouga Magister Kit CM. 170 (Parts For Two Kits Included)
The Magister entered production in 1954 with over 900 examples built. A carrier-capable variant was also produced as the CM.175 Zephyr. The type was produced by Fouga in France and license-built by Heinkel-Messerschmitt in Germany, IAI in Israel, and Valmet in Finland.
The Magister has seen military service in at least 25 countries and can be found flying in the warbird community today.
Kinetic took on this project with a good team of experts to create this beautiful new kit. Molded in light gray styrene, this kit is rendered on three parts trees plus one tree of clear parts and one small fret of photo-etch parts. There are two complete kits in this box, so you can build two of the five subjects provided in the kit or look for some aftermarket options.
