Academy 1/48 Shooting Star


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

This is my T-33 in the colors of the 1/14 Aviation Group, Canoas AFB, Brazilian Air Force. They were replaced by F-5E in the early seventies.

Kit was just fine, no issues at all, although it could have more details. Everything OOB, except for the decals from FCM.

 

Cheers!

Excellent build George. I built an Academy one from the same group, but with a much earlier FCM decal sheet from 2002 (with the stiff decal film), mixed with Microscale and kit decals. I had issues with the build, the painting and the decals. Almost binned mine, twice. I would like to try the GWH version and do a CT-133, but jets are not my thing and the stash is huge.

 

Well done. Cheers,

Wlad

Beautifully done T-33!  What paint did you use for the NMF?  👍

Thank you!

Well, they're were not really NMF, but painted silver instead. So I used an automotive type paint, kind of an aluminum flat.

Hello

 

i really like your model, coz brazilian jets are so rarely in the model scene, and your model looks great. May i ask which details did you missed?

Thank you! I think the cockpit and wheel well bays could use a few more details, that's all. But a nice kit, nevertheless.

When I saw “Brazilian” in the title I knew I was going to see a splash of color. The pictures do not disappoint! Well done and thanks for sharing!
