Silver Fox Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Back from holidays and I managed to finish this one today. It is the Great Wall Hobbies early T-33, the kit was very satisfying to build with no glitches or pitfalls. I finished it with my usual four different metallics but the sunshine has made them hard to discern. The model is finished as a machine of the 77th FBS, 20th FBW based at RAF Weathersfield in the late 1950's. The decals area mix of kit markings and Caracal sheet CD48123, which performed beautifully as usual. I dfound a photo of the aircraft on line which showed her to be very clean and highly polished at an air display so I kept weathering to a minimum. As always thanks for looking. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Fox Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 Thanks for the kind words gent. Sorry Lightningboy 2000, it doesn't look like they are available in 1/72. There is a nice T-33 ANG sheet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camper1 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Nice to see a T33,you don't see too many built. I am currently building a pair of Academy kits, hope they turn out as good as yours Andy. Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to see one of these finished in such striking markings. I am about to start the same kit in the same decals at the end of the month. I have not managed to track down a photo yet - do you happen to recall where you found the photo online? Many thanks for any help! Jon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolay Polyakov Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Well done, @Silver Fox! Shiny! 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 Jon, sorry I lost a number of photos when my hard drive crashed and this was one of them. I remember it didn't show the extreme nose but other than that it was as the decal sheet showed even down the very shiney ( polished?) finish. I tried to Google it and found pictures of my model!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Joyce Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Wonderful job on the build, and great choice of markings! Cheers, Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 Jon, I've been having a bit of a search around I found an illustration of the machine on the rear cover of USAF Europe in Colour Volume 2 by Robbie Robertson published by Squadron Signal, but I still can't find the picture I used, my Google skills are weak today. however my Bing fu worked. https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=T-33A 51-4382&qs=n&form=QBIR&sp=-1&pq=t-33a 51-4382&sc=0-13&sk=&cvid=71EF6610CFA7475EBB017B626917518C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent several hours on Google and did not come across that. Must remember to try Bing as well next time. Much appreciated! Jon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
