hsr Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Here is my build of Wolfpack's North American T-2C Buckeye. The Buckeye was the US Navy's primary jet trainers from 1959 until 2008 when it was replaced by the Boeing T-45. The T-2C version was introduced in 1968. This is my first full kit by Wolfpack. I have previously used their wing upgrades, that I found to be excellent. This kit had generally good fit, but there were some issues, primarily with the fit of the intakes. Included with the kit was a decal sheet printed by Cartograf, that worked excellently and a canopy mask that fit perfectly. I also purchased their "update" (should be upgrade) interior kit that included very nice seats and some photo-etch. Finally I bought a 2 Bobs decal sheet printed by Microscale that was very good. The white was painted with Tamiya Fine Surface primer in a jar and airbrushed. The red was Humbrol 19 and the orange was Humbrol 18. All in all a pleasant build. Next up will the a TH-1H using the Hasegawa UH-1H kit Enjoy 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I forgot to mention was that the canopy fit was excellent, unlike the Sword T-38 Thanks Howard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedders Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 That looks great. The T-2 is a pretty thing to my eye, and I like the fact that the wing has elements from that of the P-51, via the FJ-1. You've made a good job of it too. Justin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy54 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Very nice build thank you for sharing. It is a nice kit and I have fond memories of when I built mine a few years ago. I have another in the stash plus the Two Bobs decal set for finishing it in the aggressor scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to do a T-2A if I can ever find the Esoteric fuselage for it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
