Last year Scott Dennison contacted me about building a T-33 model for Paul. I said that I am by no means a pro modeler, but would give it a shot. Scott provided everything, and I did some research and got the actual paint and a set of decals for his aircraft. here is the finished example.

Looks nice Chris. What kit did you use - looks like 1/48 scale? I've got two of the Academy kits in the stash. I need to get one built... :)

Nice! I plan to do it in 1/144 or 1/72 someday. I'm guessing you used the CanMilAir set?

YEah, I used the CANMilAir set. Very nice to deal with. It is the 1/48th scale Hobbycraft kit.
