As this is an "early type", what are the differences between early and late?

Just wondering if I should get the early type kit, or wait for the late....

I`m looking forward to it as I want one in Royal Canadian Navy markings! Just need to get my hands on the IPMS Canada decal sheet now, as the Belcher sheet doesn`t include the one that I want to build!

Cheers

I understand why Brit modelers wouldn't have an attraction for the type.

Given how frequently service Shooting Stars were seen in the UK (inc CT-133 Silver Stars) I really don't get that comment, also at least one high profile civil registered example, and a smattering of T-33s in museums should make it attractive.

I am definitively going to invest in this much overlooked type.

Some odd engineering choices as well by the sound of it - I will be interested in seeing a build review to see how it all goes together and what has to be done for certain options.

Having said that, the general consensus of the review was positive

I wish that either Leading Edge would reissue their 1/48 sheet for natural metal Canadian variants, or someone else would do one. I made one out of a Hobbycraft kit many years ago: it was a LOT of work to correct at least some of the shape defects and get it all to settle down under the Alclad. I'd like to do it again to a higher standard.
