About product

Decals Lockheed T-33A Shooting Star 1:48, early machines (Caracal Models)

A decal sheet in 1:48 scale focused on the early period of the service of the Lockheed T-33A jet trainer aircraft with the US Air Force. From the sheets devoted to the later years it differs precisely in the form of the markings, which changed over the years. The particular machines and schemes are given by the manufacturer on the packaging, so compare them before building with your model.

The real subject

The T-33A came about as the two-seat trainer derivative of the first production American jet fighter aircraft. The fuselage was given an inserted section for the second place and a long canopy, and a single jet engine provides the power. The machine served for the transition training of pilots onto jet equipment, and in the early period it flew predominantly in a natural metal surface completed with striking color elements for better visibility. It is precisely the early machines that differ from the later ones in the details of the fit as well as in the form of the lettering.

Application tips

With older sheets that may have lain in storage for a longer time, caution pays. Before you set to work on the main markings, try one inconspicuous small decal first. You will find out this way whether the film has not grown brittle and whether the adhesive is releasing properly. If a decal breaks, it helps to go over the sheet with a thin coat of clear varnish from a spray, let it dry and only then cut the individual pieces out. Store the sheet flat, dry and out of direct light; damp and heat harm it the most.

Who the sheet is for

  • builders of early American jet equipment in 1:48 scale
  • those interested in the development of markings over the service of one type
  • modelers who want to build the T-33A alongside its later form
  • those who work with natural metal and striking color areas

This is a standalone decal sheet. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.

FAQ

This sheet concentrates on the form of the markings from the beginning of the type in service. The lettering, the markings and the color elements changed over the years, so the sheets complete each other.

Go over the sheet with a thin coat of clear varnish from a spray, let it dry and only then cut the individual decals out. Try one small piece beforehand.

No. The package contains only a decal sheet for a model already built and varnished.
