Miles Magister (MikroMir 1/32)
Malies Magister was a trainer and acrobatics aircraft designed in the 1930s. I like this classic look of it, and it's visible from the start, that the aircraft is from the Golden Era of aviation. For me, Miles Magister was one of the first topics in scale modelling, because of the FROG kit, so I have some sentiments here.
MikroMir kit is a typical short run kit. I've dropped the in-box painting schemes in favour of African RAAF colours. This required creating painting masks for national insignia and numbers. Other additions were seat belts, and rear windscreen made of film, because original part is too thick even for 1/32 scale.
Those, who interested in the build details, here is the WIP thread – https://imodeler.com/groups/work-in-progress-aircraft/forum/topic/miles-magister-mikromir-1-32/

@starfar
The version you chose to paint makes your Magister stand out from the more common Dark Green/Earth RAF scheme, and the subtle realistic weathering applied gets the details just right Dmitry, thumbs up
Thank you Pedro!
