Reini78 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 #25/2019 After P-47, F-84, F-86 and F-4, this is my father´s newest addition to our IIAF collection. He used the GWH kit, which is mostly very nice, together with the freshly released decal sheet from Hi-Decal. Painted with Gunze Orange with a touch of red and AK Real Color Aluminium. Seatbelts are from Eduard. Added a pylon for the TT system from an abandoned Hobby Boss F-80 project. Sadly there is no aftermarket stuff for the Ford/Powell LD-4R TT, should there ever be one we will most probably retrofit the model with it. Build thread here https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235059720-persian-thunder148-lockheed-t-33a-shooting-star-target-tug-imperial-iranian-airforce/ Between 1956 and 1965 the IIAF received a bunch of T-33 and RT-33. In the early 60ies, four T-33 and two RT-33 were converted to TT in Italy. When the IIAF introduced the F-5 with their supersonic aerial darts, the TT equipment was removed again from the (R)T-33s. Several IIAF T-33 were inherited by the IRIAF in 1979. One of them was recently displayed as a "drone"..

2Step Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 unique cool looking kit superbly done. However, considering the topic, I always was wondering what idiot would climb into the cockpit of a target tug I always preferred to be at the other end of the gun.... (I would apologize to any potential former target tug pilot in this forum taking offense in my choice of words!!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
