Bird #2 in the Thunderbirds series. I'm having *REAL* fun with these decal sheets. Most of the kits (T-33, F-100D, F-105, F-4, T38) were produced by Hasegawa in the mid-'70s to mid '80s, and the decal sheets have deteriorated badly. They've dried out, and become VERY brittle. I've had to buy decal sheets on EBay, and they too are in rough shape. I ended up by brush painting Testors gloss lacquer over the decals to keep them from shattering when they're dipped in water. I first tried airbrushing the lacquer on, but I found I needed a thicker coat. I'm working through the kits now, and dealing with the decal issues as I come across them.

Minor error n this one. Didn't realize, until it was too late, that the tail surfaces had to be painted white before the red scallops & stars were applied. One of the problems with the various decal mfgs. Some of the sheets also provide the white, others don't By the time I realized, I'd already applied a bunch of decals, and was beyond the turning point. I addressed this problem on the F-100 and F-105, but I'll just have to live with my mistake on the T-33.

Bonjour.
Je possède toujours bien ce kit, mais, ayant quitté pour plusieurs mois la métropole pour raison professionnelle, je ne suis plus en capacité matérielle de procéder à la vente de la moindre maquette de mon stock.
Je reprendrai contact avec vous comme avec tous ceux qui me sollicitent à mon retour.
Cordialement
