1/48 Miles Magister

Here's my Special hobby 1/48 Miles Magister painted to represent the sole Magister to serve with the RAAF early in the war. Overall quite a nice little kit of an interesting subject. As usual I spray painted it with Tamiya spray cans.

That looks great Andy, the type served well in a number of countries and was a stable flying training platform.

Did the Port come with the model kit? If so, where can I get one!

Nicely done Andy. I was taking pics of the Duxford example on Monday, for Evan's build.

Wonderfully done. How did you attach the wings to the fuselage? I ask because of the way they butt join there.

Thanks a lot guys and thanks for the likes. Apologies for the port, that's one way to slip past the forum censor! I haven't tried it yet, but according to its label, it's pretty good stuff

I had concerns about the wing butt joints too, but surprisingly once glued to the side of the fuselage I had zero problems. I used Tamiya light curing putty for the slight gaps to avoid any sanding which worked a treat.

Andy, I would give your model bacon, but Marcel took it away for the day. I noticed that you left off some of the straps they call for on the outside. Good idea as they seem as though they would be a royal pain to paint and install.

What a nifty looking little one, very cool.

Thanks for the nice comments guys

Yep I did leave off some very small PE parts as these minute parts are beyond my skill set. Between modelling with the most basic of tools and a busted index finger(he got between a 44 gal drum and a steel bar), I know my limitations!

Ouch Andy....

It still turned out well in spite of the finger. Hope your digit recovers soon.
