Thanks for remembering :thumbsup:

What if Fouga created a light fighter (like the Folland Midge) based on the CM-170 Magister? It might have looked like this:

The Irish Air Cops would have bought it, to be sure.  ;)

That's terrific, you've REALLY been busy!
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

That looks very 1950s! Excellent work! :thumbsup:

Nice one - I LOVE swept-wing Magisters, as my previous post indicates.  :thumbsup:

Free what-if idea for anyone who wants to run with it: what if Fouga, not Dassault, became the premier French aircraft manufacturer, and made their own distinctive aircraft, with V-tails, wing-root mounted engines and high(ish)-aspect ratio wings for every niche, military and civilian?

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.  Revelling in numptytism.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed, badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry.

Well, I working on a Fouga version of the Dassault Vautour. It's another scale-o-rama.
