monthebiff Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Looks very sharp Kent but more importantly really good to hear you are steadily progressing in the right direction. I for one have missed your amazing and informative build threads. Regards. Andy Martinnfb and kkarlsen 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF18 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Hi Kent I'm currently building a big T-33, so I read through your build to pick up some tips. Very nice! For the speed brakes, I don't think it's possible to have them half-open in real life. When I flew them ages ago (summer of '86), we usually parked them with speed brakes fully open. The switch was a simple slide open/close, with no ability to stop them partway. I suppose it's possible (but not sure) for the techs to move them partly closed after hydraulic power is gone, but it may not be possible. Even on a real aircraft, it's hard to crawl under that area and see up inside. During walkarounds, I would mostly look on the ground to see if there were any fresh fluid leaks coming from the gear wells and speed brake wells, because it was hard to get underneath. I have some detail shots of a museum aircraft from Bagotville, Quebec, in case you want some. There are some of the nose and main gear wells, if you want to see the tubing and other stuff in there.

kkarlsen Posted July 10, 2022 Author Share Posted July 10, 2022 Finally finished. This took a while longer than I expected, but anyhow it's done... I struggled a bit with the aluminium surfaces, what I didn't want was a 'nice' surface, but a weathered look of real 'worn metal', but not too much. In the end I opted the DT-571 one of the planes which was used for the Delmar tow target system. This aircraft was serving from 1961 until 1976 RDAF. (It was flown to Norway in 1981, where it was restored and is now on exhibit at the 'Flyhistoriske Museum Sola' in Stavanger in Norwegian 'attire') Cheers: Kent Rockie Yarwood, patricksparks, williamj and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
