dmthamade Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Well, this build is done, thank god!! This kit has been as difficult and ornery to build as its reputation said it would be. I'm used to easier builds, this has been a challenge from the begining to end. Truthfully i did enjoy taking care of fit problems, helps keep long unused skills sharp. This is done as a Canadian bird, needing minor mods to canadianize. The pit and the seats are the great AMS parts, pit was the easiest part of the build. Decals are a mix of Leading Edge and Belcher Decals. Main color coat is Tamiya TS-17 Gloss Aluminum. I was going to do this as a grey jet, i like the colors of the NMF with the red and black. shbemo13, joe, Uilleann and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Despite the issues you had with this build, you've turned out a terrific model, Don. I think it looks fantastic! May I publish it on the website? Kev dmthamade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoobyDoo Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 That's very nice. Exactly the one I am going to build when I get to it someday. Cheers That is exactly how I am NOW going to build mine. This build has inspired me to build mine in the same scheme. I had another scheme in mind until this awesome build inspired me to change. dmthamade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Looks fantastic Don. I say you've inspired a few others to give the kit a try based on the replies here. I haven't given up on mine yet and an still progressing slowly with it. I'm with you on picking a nice simple Tamiya kit for my follow up build.

allthumbs Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Outstanding Don...I love it! Although a consensus "PITA" kit, patience and persistence, as always, pays huge dividends, as your model shows. Congratulations, Rich dmthamade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero77 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Terrific job ! Very clean and realistic paint job, with nice colors. I think it may be the best T-33 i've seen so far. dmthamade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking73 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Don, That's is a top-notch build! You really whipped that kit into shape. Looks fantastic I must say. Mine (like Carl's) is still moving along slowly. I'm out of town again for work but I hope to have another update soon. Wonderful job on your T-33, very inspiring for sure. -Derek BloorwestSiR and dmthamade 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 That really is a beautiful model! May be a challenging kit - but at least we have a T-33 in a 'proper' scale - and with results like these it looks like, with care, absolutely stunning models can result.

dmthamade Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 That's very nice. Exactly the one I am going to build when I get to it someday. Cheers I found it to be a very attractive scheme, much better than the grey i was going to use. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
