Cool! I have to assume this is the same old Czech Model/Squadron plastic?

Having just finished mine, it looks that way.

I definitely will build the FAG T-33. 

My cousin Orlando was a Guatemalan Air Force Pilot and had a couple of flights on the FAG’s T-33s then he wet to the A-37s.

I remember well as a kid, on my father’s hometown fair in 1980, Lt. Dubon did a little air show.

Later on he went to rotary wing until the crash that kill him in November 1993.

The guy with sunglasses is Maj. Orlando Dubon, my inspiration to also become a military pilot.

Correction,

I asked his sisters about his qualifications and we concluded that Orlando may not had any time on  the T-33.

I recall that we kept hearing T-33's buzz Guatemala City when I was there in 1975-76. Luckily, they never went up against the Harriers in Belize, but were posturing to do that. Was the sharkmouth marked T-33 one of those planes? I never saw them, only heard them.

The “sonrisa” (smile), was painted before 1965. The FAG received the -33 beginning in 1963.
