iniBuilds T-33 Jet Trainer Released

still far from perfect, but slowly getting somewhere with the decals.
Would anyone have detailed pics of the stencils on the Belgian birds? Richard perhaps? I'm having a hard time here, in many ways...

Excellent Jan Kees ! Thank you !

No photo's of Belgian Stars yet but i'll see what i can come up with for you. In the mean time, and i don't know if you have any use for them of course, but here's a bunch of Tanguy & Laverdure T-Birds :

My GAF Camo is published - next to the right tail I used decals for right wing. But texture mapping is a real nightmare.






Have fun!

In case anyone missed it (like I did), v1.0.2 has been out for a few days now.

Any of our repaint artists interested?
I really like these "unusual\unfamous" repaints

Bay of Pigs...1/48 Lockheed T-33A, Fuerza Aérea Revolucionaria - Academy Cuba Hi-Decal - iModeler

By Reinhard Spreitzhofer - #1/2023 New year, new count.... Here´s my dad´s first finished model in 2023. Academy edition of the old Hobbycraft kit, markings from Hi-Decal. Had some True Details (Squadron) T-33 resin seats in our stash. Although they are a bit too low for this kit my dad used...

Thanks!

Experimenting with both the albedo files and the decal files... Nothing set in stone yet, just experimenting with marking size and placement. Lots of things to add/fix.

Awesome! Was hoping for a Canadian natural metal T-33, and the one that’s out is just the gray one with metallic extended even to the red tip tanks. Looks like a Hot Wheels car.

Sorry JK, after a quick look at the photos and documentation I have regarding the maintenance stencils and in particular the rescue instructions for the Belgian T33s, I have nothing that allows me to read what is written on them.
But I can already say that the natural metal versions did not have the same stencils as the Vietnam versions.
The subject needs to be explored further.

It takes an engineering course to understand the logic used for the textures of this aircraft! LOL

 

[jankees]

I teach engineers, but I'm not one myself, which explains my problems with the T-bird I guess...

I'm blown away by how fast you guys are able to crank 'em out. Methinks Blender is in my future... something to learn this winter I guess.

Coming along, redoing the fuselage markings. The decal files are nice but they aren't the same scale, if you are using standard sized markings between the fuselage and wing (and tail for that matter) they will appear to be different sizes once on the model.

Still have to do cutouts around lower wing markings and clean up some other stuff.
