1/48 Academy T-33

Next comes a T-33 from VU-33 Squadron. This scheme is known as the Tow Target scheme.  This particular T-33 is depicted during the early 1980's flying out of CFB Comox.

The kit is the 1/48the Academy kit with the speed brakes cut out from the kit and shown in the down position (every T-33 I have seen has the speed brakes out while on the ground ) and I used the True Details seats for the cockpit.  Even though these seats are not accurate for a CT-33 they are better than the kit seats.  

I used the Leading Edge Models decal sheet for the Natural metal T-33. The decals are superb and very accurate as usual!
