Chris Bucholtz Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 This is the Platz 1:72 kit with Eduard photoetched interior panels, modified control columns, and True Details seats. I added wiring the seats, scratch-built the canopy piston housing and the canvas cover over the rear panel from CA-impregnated tissue paper, and cut the kit canopy. The wheel wells were detailed and the airbrakes were re-built and their bays were detailed. Anti-torque scissors were stolen from an F-80 photo etched sheet. The decals were sourced from 14 different sheets from Iliad, SuperScale, Fox One, AeroMaster, an Italeri B-66, and even a MicroScale railroad sheet. Weathering was limited to a wash and some scuffing on the non-skid panels. I finished it just in time for a club contest - but, since only four or five people finished their T-33s, the contest was moved to March! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) WOW! That is one eye-catching scheme and build! You've certainly captured everything well, as it photographs as "larger" than 1/72. I look forward to seeing this in person in TX this summer. I bet Walt will absolutely love it! And, I'm right-clicking and saving these pics for a build for myself..... GIL Edited January 19, 2020 by ghodges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VonL Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) Wow - You got all of that one. I like the way the cockpit detail subtly pops out. Beautiful piece! Edited January 20, 2020 by VonL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
