Another 1/72 Italeri T-33 kit #1444 was made but now in a scheme of the Indonesia air force TNI-AU with other decals.
The model was made as described earlier in a similar fashion. The decals came from the 1/72 TAN model T-33 kit #2905. It has a nice shark scheme of a TNI-AU no.11 squadron at Halim base in 1972, Indonesia.
It has a natural metal scheme with a olive green pattern.
For the metal Vallejo metal 77.701 acrylic was airbrushed and after masking for the olive green Revell Aqua 61.
The Tan model decals are very good and I got the TNI-AU decal left overs from my modelling friend Bas, thank you!
The model was made almost straight out of the box. The canopy was kept closed as per kit and flaps up. It got a gloss varnish coat after decalling.
