Czech Model T-33

[OliverHolmes]

This is my current build as she sits today. Im not giving away the colour scheme yet but you can guess:

 

So far the kit has been a bit of a pig to put together, i had large gaps around the wing to fuesalage join and had to use alot of tape to hold the fuesalage together while that set buit it builds up nicely and quickly to a nice size model.

Nice choice Ollie,

The T33 does not come up often at forums.

I find that a real shame as its a realy nice aircraft with alot of operators and options for markings. I could easily build another 4-5 in 1:32.

Loved the F/P-80. Have the kit with all the AM stuff for it. Don't really want to start it due to the time it would take to build up correctly. Rick did a "what-if" of one in 56th FS colors in 1946. Tried looking for it. Must be in the SPAR forum bin.

Czech Model F80 conversion to P80B

 

WIP log = Facebook Bezoula Builds P80B "262 Killer"

Finished = LSM P80B "262 Killer"

 

This kit was truly a battle with the wing root fit among other fit issues.  Lots of sanding and scribing.  In the end it was a challenging and fun build and happy with results.

 

Look forward to see your T33.

 

Welcome to the forum Ollie!

The answer to the choice of schemes lays under the model in this photo:

Well after waiting an age for the orange paint to turn up and then waiting for some time off work this is how she looked earlier. I have since applied all the stencils and tomorrow i should be able to finish her:
