I worked a lot on this kit (almost 6 months!!), although it is a good kit, it needs some work on the cockpit. I used the True Details ejection seats for T-33/P-80, Aztec Models decals set for this Squadron (Fighting Squadron 201) and added some scratch on the cockpit, wheel wells, inside part of the flaps, and weighted the tires. It was painted totally with Acrylic Car paints, with some details with Model Masters,  I remarked the panels lines with some wash of Vallejo paint, and added some Future to the canopy

I always love to build jets A/C, but this one I enjoyed more than others!! (especially Latin America A/C), and is one of my precious jewels of my collection....I am thinking really seriously about building each and every T-33 of every country where they operated!!
