T-33A Shooting Star decalbashed (pics)
Posted by Tugcap on Thursday, February 22, 2007 2:38 PM

Hey All...I got this Academy 1/48 T-33 and when I reached the decaling...my favorite part...they started acting very badly. I found that unusual for Academy. However, I had no fear 'cause I've got a huge pile of leftover decals so I just started finding things that seemed like the things to use. Parts are from an old Hobby Craft T-33 which I must have given away and the other stuff is probably from leftover Seaking. Anyway, who cares! It was fun and I think it looks ok in my two chapter book. Let's just say it represents squadron me.

Hey Tommy,

 I really thing she looks good in those markings, stands out..!! I have a few in my stash and I may go for the more colourful route than anything else.

 How did you like the over all buiuld in general??

Flaps up,

Mike

Very nice and convincing work.

BTW, how did you do the 2 tiny yellow stripes on the bombs  ?

I was thinking the same thing, cool build.  The post almost had a hint of musty smell to it.  Stick out tongue
