Lockheed T-33 „T-Bird over Europe“ – 1/32 by Super Hobby

Hello,

 

Some pictures of a model which I mostly used for trying something new…. The metallic surface was done in a new way….

 

The kit is coming from the Czech. Company Super Hobby and is a typical short run kit. The plastic parts are mostly lower detailed and the fitting is not as good as you expect today. The kit also includes resin and pe parts, as well as decals for different versions, some in metal optic, others in 3-colour camo.

 

Here I have used metall wax which I ordered several time ago from USA. This was applied with a lint-free cloth and polished afterwards. A layer of glossy clear coat secured the surface before the next steps. Then the red was painted, the decals added and a 2^nd layer of clear coat applied, before finishing the painting with a washing of black oil colors.

 

Also it made some troubles during the built and paint – also it was a “testing” kit… I think it is “ok” finally….

Hi Michael, good work! I really like it! You only should have finished it in Dutch colours..... You DO know that Germany is a province of the Netherlands, don't you? 

 

No, seriously, I like it. And a scheme you don't see built very often!

Thanks a lot  
Who says that Germany is a province of the Netherlands? Crazy? The Netherlands are visiting Germany daily with their caravans... but that's all :) 

Eric's machine? What do you meant Ted?  

Cheers
