Julien Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 This is the Platz kit recently reboxed by Italieri, really is a great little kit both in fit and details. Decals from the kit for Ecole 314, Tours AB, 1962. The T-33SF were the ones the French upgraded with Hispan-Suiza licence built Nene engine. I biult this to represent the one I have been Helping to restore. 58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Lovely T33! I was unaware that Italeri have the Platz tooling for this - I will keep an eye out for it in my LHS. 👍👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not aware of resin or others except maybe re-pops of the Airfix kit. The Airfix I believe is closer to an F-80A dimensionally/canopy, I would recommend the sword kit even with the multi piece intakes. Though the Sword intakes are tricky, Ive been told there are a couple of kit-bash’s that can be done. You can take the intakes from either the Airfix or the Platz/Italeri T-33 ? And splice them in. The other bash is to use the T-33 and remove the two fuselage plugs to shorten it and then graft in the canopy section from the Sword or use an aftermarket vacuum canopy. Of course if you dont mind switching scales there are the Hobby-boss & Revello-gram kits, and the 1/32 special hobby monster.

PATRICK FROM THE SANDS Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Great job! It seems to me that the engraved panels are a little bit deep for the scale and the nose slim (may be the camera lens effect ???). I have built the Sword kit in a USAF version, not an easy one and not perfect. Very nice T-bird! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the panel lines fine, as for the nose after being around the real one it looks fine to me, the tapering anti glare panel makes it look a bit slimmer than it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
