Nice kit...so far. I skipped the part where the nosewheel thingy gets together..the instructions are simply very bad.
Has anybody already done this? I would like to know how;-)

Given that it's a brand new kit I think you're the first Aeroscaler to tackle it

I don't even think that our review kit has arrived at its reviewer yet! Would you care to share pictures of your progress?

Hi Harald
How's the Magister going? I'm afraid I can't see your picture.
All the best

The manual has you add the front inlet to this part...Idecided not to because it will affect the way it mates with the rest of the intake...

Here's a very simple solution to a more than likely problem...the ridge mentioned is already gone here.

The pilots will receive a lot more attention with regard to their looks. Nobody would fly a plane looking like that....

The periscope looks very good here. Unfortunatly it decided to go somewhere else without telling me where. I would suggest adding this just before installing the canopy parts...
