Well, I will try once more to 'participate' in a Group Build. 

 

I have gotten an itch to get some 'metal' under the knife, and this is one of me few favorite jet airplanes the old 'T-Bird'.

 

 

T-33 got its entry into the Danish Air Force in April 1953 with 30 aircraft, partly rented, partly bought.

T-33A is a 2-seater all-metal aircraft mainly used for training in instrument flight, for target towing and courier flight, etc.

The last official flight with T-33A in RDAF took place on 17.5.77, when DT-497 flew from Karup to Værløse.

 

 

The kit is Special Hobby's limited run kit of the T-33.

 

 

Decals for the Danish version, Hahen.

 

Unfortunately the first 'hurdle' has allready stalled the build before I even had the chance to start.

The Danish T-Bird had Martin-Baker Mk DU5A-1/2 (front/Back) and it doesn't look like they are available, in another kit or as resin?

that looks so good, on the back of this I've just bought the same kit. Not sure what scheme to do and it won't be a patch on yours however thanks for the inspiration !
