Jon Bryon Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) Hi all, Here's my latest finished kit: GWH's 1/48 Lockheed T-33A Shooting Star with Caracal decals and Eduard seat belts. It's finished in Kcolors 60 Steel. It's a nice straightforward build and I have many more photos and an extensive article here: https://jonbryon.com/great-wall-hobby-1-48-lockheed-t-33a-shooting-star/ Comments welcome and thanks for looking.

Jon Bryon Posted June 22, 2019 Author Share Posted June 22, 2019 Thanks everyone 4 hours ago, Orion said: Would not mind a few tips regarding the pics. I don't have much to say I'm afraid. I simply use as much light as I can get my hands on, shoot only in full manual mode (and in RAW), set the aperture to the maximum F-stop (somewhere between F22-F29 usually) and then set a correspondingly long exposure time (usually somewhere around 0.5 seconds). Obviously I use a tripod and I also use a remote release. The camera is a Canon 800D with the standard kit lens. Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobo Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 That's one of the most beautiful T-33's I've ever seen. Thank you very much for the link to your website. It's very impressive. I look forward to reading all of the build reports. Perhaps I missed it, but what did you use for the two lights on the nose gear? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
