IAC Fouga Magisters

[Giorgio N]

Agree with Roy on the picture of 215 with painted tanks, these are the small ones.

Pictures of Magisters with the larger tanks are not that common, it may well be that all users installed them rarely. I've found a couple on the net of French aircrafts

The picture in flight is interesting as shows the clear strip on the inner side of the tank, a detail that is impossible to see in pictures taken from the side of aircrafts on the ground. Both tanks are in unpainted fibreglass

Thanks, murfv, those walkround photos are great! Giorgio, those photos you found are great too! It seems that unpainted French 'big' tanks had a grey gelcoat to the fibreglass, where the tanks in noelh's pix of '215' appear to be in

raw fibreglass.

Giorgio, that civil Magister in grey & white looks superb. I really am going to have to build more of these . . .

Here is an extreme close up picture I took of the light arrangement on the tip tank of IAC Magister 216 which was on display in the courtyard at Collins' Barracks Museum a few years ago.

 

 

 

And some other pictures I took that day
