Gwart Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I took a punt and ordered 2 .It's as i'd hoped, Swords original T-33 kit with a new glazed nose to add. There's only 1 seat though ,so another will have to be sourced. The radio fit in the back seat is very similar to that in postwar Mustangs (USAF/ANG later RCAF) It's the best T-33 currently available and i'm really happy it's been (kinda) re-released. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll fit one of my Platz kits, then Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d challenge that. The Platz outranks it easily. I have just ordered one, though, forvthe RF nose.... Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwart Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Yup ,i'm happy that its Sword's T-33 again,they go for crazy money on e*bay.The sourcing of seat is to do it as a straight T-33. I have a few of the Platz T-33's and they are okay,for the price the Sword kits are way better. The Platz kit is very basic ,cockpit and wheel bays are quite spartan.Panel lines vary from fine to very heavy.The separate tail section is a pain .The canopy is quite 'thick' for a new tooled kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hook Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 The kit comes with some goodlooking photoetch, but without so much as a clue in the instructions on where it all goes. Are my two kits missing a page?, I can't seem to find any instructions online either. Cheers, Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I downloaded the instructions for the SS 710 set from the Eduard website - even though it's for the Platz kit most of the parts are similar.
