iniBuilds T-33 Jet Trainer Released

[jocko417]

The Royal Canadian Navy operated some T-33s in the mid to late 1950s as both utility aircraft, and as advanced trainers for those pilots who would go on to fly the McDonnell F2H-3 Banshee jet fighters which operated off Canada's last aircraft carrier, HMCS Bonaventure.

This repaint represents a T-33 Mk.3 of VT 40, jet training squadron based at HMCS Shearwater, Nova Scotia.



Now available on Flightsim.to

Absolutely love these, Jocko417! Any plans to do one of the day-glo orange schemes down the road?

(I just realized you also did the RCAF schemes I use when I fly the SSW F-104s! Great stuff!)

Hey, thanks Denny! Yes, I plan to do some more "advanced" Day-Glo stuff soon. I don't use 3D painting software so it's taking some time. I could use the decal files but I'd prefer to have the weathering layers I've made for my templates put to good use... decals go "on top" of everything.

Would love to see this one if anyone wants to try. No hurry, I was stationed at Perrin from 68' to 70'. We had the T-33, F-102 and a transient area for T-37's from Shepherd AFB.

No, read my signature.

Okay...here goes it: "Thomas". Didn't answer a thing for me, but I can be dense. Anyway...just by chance, I decided to try flightsim.com and found the download. Nicely done on the repaint!

His signature is a link to all of his paints on that site. I'm not sure if there's a way to view/not view sig's on this new forum software, but if you can't see his link, check your forum settings.

 

[ColoKent]

Ah ha! Let me check settings. Because my first thought was "must be a link"....but nothing.

*EDIT* That was it. The link is now visible...Thanks Tom!

W.I.P.

Still some work to do adjusting markings placement and updating stenciling to more modern style (modern = 40 years ago, not 70 years ago lol)

GORGEOUS, Jocko...Now if I could just figure out where you get the ideas for these RCAF/Canadian Forces T-33s....

 

[jocko417]

Just realized I forgot the little warning arrow pointing to the turbine stripe on the Comox bird above. Stand by for version 1.1 tomorrow...

It looks like you're going to have the entire RCAF T-33 force represented before too long...
If you have any spare time, would you mind taking a shot at a version from your neighbors to the South, the 123rd FIS at Portland, OR?
