yardbird78 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 It is good to see the T-33 getting some love. That machine sure trained a lot of pilots for the US and several other countries. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr B Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Lovely choice..... Hope to see progress soon Those period boxings of Hasegawa really brings back memories.....I had the Sabre and the Fuji among others but never the Shooting star........ Rgds Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RCAFFAN Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) Looking good so far.....Just don't look at a Sword or Platz 1/72 T-33 kit til you get this one done :lol:/> Sorry but you have your work cut out. Even the old Heller kit was better than the ancient Hasegawa but you got one and you're building it so keep going. Great job .....

The decals are looking a bit sad. Nothing like a chllenge. Martin H Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RCAFFAN Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I could send you Canadian markings (got about 8-9 different sheets) but I don't think they would fit this group build....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grandboof Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 I could send you Canadian markings (got about 8-9 different sheets) but I don't think they would fit this group build....... thank you for the offer but I will stay with the GB. I have scanned the decals in case they fail. Plan B after market JASDF decals or track down the Platz kit and rob it of decals. I will get this finished Martin H Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grandboof Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 Basic structure done . Just about every joint needs filling. A long way to go. This kit really shows it's age but there in lays the challenge. Thanks for looking. Martin H Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yardbird78 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Looking good so far. You must have to buy filler in gallon cans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grandboof Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 Filling getting there, There seems to be a horrible draft that needs plugging Thanks for looking Martin H Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grandboof Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 Primed and ready for first colour coat. More soon. Thanks for looking Martin H Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Drifterdon Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) Martin, Not sure if you've started decaling yet but I have some JASDF decals from a newer release of this kit that includes decals for just about ever Japanese unit that flew this plane. Let me know if you're interested. Unfortunately I don't have the instructions anymore. This release.... https://www.scalemat...3a-shootingstar Don Here are the decals I'm speaking of.
