1/48 Hobby Craft T-33 (305TH Bomber Wing-Bunker Hill)
Posted by sbemo13 on Monday, July 7, 2014 3:12 PM

I used shades of Alclad for metal finish.  I lived on Bunker Hill right before it became Grissom AFB.

That finish looks amazing. Do you have any issues with finger prints showing up after handling it?

I'm old enough to remember when the P-80  'Shooting Star' was introduced! Have built a couple of the F-80's but nothing that compares to your T-33 - it's gorgeous! Wish I could do NMF like that. Thanks for posting (and stimulating me to try harder)!!

Very nice! Looks like you managed to make any seem lines disappear too! A daunting task for any NMF!
