Then the moment of truth: She's not a tail sitter! I then started painting the canopy by doing an initial coat of black. While that dried, I started on the decals. They're from Belcher's Bits, the same guy that made the decals for Ernie's Lanc. Oh boy, Carl! Guess what decal sheet I’m ordering tonight? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It covers everything from the early RCAF to the later Armed Forces schemes. There's even one for the RCN which was really tempting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 Here's the last of the decals done. And the underwing ones: I've also started on the MLG doors too. I might just get this down before Labour Day! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 I took my boys to a nearby airshow today and watched a CT-133 fly around painted in my favourite scheme (the Silver Shark). Once home, I got back to the bench. The canopy got a coat of paint. In the famous words of Red Leader, "Almost there...." Just need to repaint and attach the nose gear doors as the paint job didn't come out so nice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 Time to call this one done! I'll try to get some nicer pics in the days ahead. Got to say it feels good to have this finished. It's not perfect but I am happy with the way it ultimately turned out. Carl 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazypoet Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Beautiful job on this! i love some of these early jets - the evolution in design that happens from the ‘40s through the late ‘60s led to some unique and interesting aircraft. Love these! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
