Harold Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Finally have the T-33 in my hands..this is going to be a challenge. The side consoles aren't too bad. Still need work though. The flooring is all WRONG. The joysticks are just hilarious, the seats are out of proportion, the Fletchers are too long and pointy. (maybe do front and rear tips for the kit part) No canopy bracing, on on on.. I have to figure out how I am going to do the tub, in one part or several. If there are any more pics of the middle section with the canopy raising mechanism, I would really like to have them. Cheers, Harold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 Thank you for that in depth analysis! LOL...sorry, but I have the "Naval fighters" #42. I went through it real quick. Nope, it is totally different fuselage, cockpit..etc. It even had leading edge slats, so the wings are different. Is that better?? Still short and sweet..LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 If there are any more pics of the middle section with the canopy raising mechanism, I would really like to have them.Cheers, Harold I'll see what I can dig up. A friend of mine owned a company called T-bird Aviation back in the 80's and 90's. He used to own four flying examples (since sold) and was the largest dealer of T-bird surplus parts in North America. He may have some pics or a manual.
