Four more images for our Fine Molds regular update. The last image is the most interesting for me, the main fuselage, showing a lack of forward section which I must assume a separate nose will be used. Feeding the "possible future release" frenzy. For all to enjoy. Craig -
Does anyone think Gene K tires of looking at F-4 videos? I'm sure he doesn't..... I noted that 333 in the video Gene linked had the stab triangular reinforcement plates only on the bottom side.

Steve is always a wealth of Canadian Military references.

Your determination in fitting those intakes is commended. Noted for whenever I start my kit. Nice save.

Quite certain that is a camera installation but certain others here will confirm.

Eduard Tornado F3 1:48 "Italian Tiger"

The F3 looks fast even when it's not moving. Stellar looking build. Love it. -
Nice touch with two of the electronics boxes different colours, seems almost the norm in reference photos.
-
I have the first release of the Kinetic Starfighter so I am always interested to see everyone's build. Your cockpit looks great.

417 squadron showed up at a Red Flag exercise and wreaked havoc and even tried some grey paint to blend in. Many CF-104 experts on Britmodeller, hopefully they can chime in.

The fact they grouped the F-15 style fuel tank, inboard pylon and fuselage top centre section on one sprue sure seems hopeful. Why sit on a gold mine and not mine it?

T-33 T-bird GWH 1/48 Dayglo scheme
baldwin8 replied to Rob K.'s topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
If we are talking about the same thing, that would be a windscreen demister tube. My kit is all taped up ready for paint so I am have to guess a bit there. Like a bicycle handlebar? Yes I did work on the CF-5 for four years towards the end of their time with the CAF. PM me if you have any questions about this, although I have never owned the kit. -

Red Dot is correct, the front end of each speed brake has rollers and the speed brakes roll back as it opens so there is a gap at the front when open. Google "T-33 speed brakes" and you will some very good pictures to show this. I had a few years maintaining CT-33s with the Canadian Forces, so I would be happy to answer anything you are wondering about. -
I've been checking the FineMolds site and Twitter feed but I did not come across this image, thank you. Liking the detail they are adding into the wheel well.

T-33 T-bird GWH 1/48 Dayglo scheme

I have a Dayglo T-33 of my own, same kit, so this thread is of interest to me. There are some nice points to the kit but far more challenges. You are doing a great job and looking forward to more results. PS Strut door would be a correct term.
