Silver Fox Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Due to a streaming cold, I've had a bit of modelling time I didn't expect so I made faster progress on the excellent GWH T33a I picked up at Southwell show. Pretty much out of the box just some aftermarket seatbelts. I used a series of Gunze Sanyo metallic paints for the first time but the flash has washed them out. I finished her as a machine of the 9th FBS based at Komaki AFB, Japan in 1955, using an option on Caracal sheet CD48123, which perform magnificently as always. I found a picture of the aircraft online and was surprised to see a lack of the visible stencilling I associate with USAF aircraft of this era. Thanks for looking. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitchen Modeller Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Flash might have washed it out but it still looks good from here. Love these old jets - cuts a very nice line. Well done mate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaracalModels Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Very nice - this is one of the better looking schemes for the T-33 and your model captures the look very well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
