Some sanding and elbow grease will get the orange peel out! I usually start with 320 grit sandpaper and work up to a finer grit. It takes some patience but it’s worth it in the end!

Honestly it was probably 500+ hours. Putting the Flite Metal on and riveting are the easy parts. It’s sanding and doing the finish work that takes so long

Thanks for the compliment! I appreciate it, especially knowing how many nice planes were there! If you don’t get to see it fly before then, we will likely be back at Winamac next year!

Tomahawk did a pretty good job with the mold for this plane. There were a few areas where I did fill in the rivets and move/add panel lines. Mostly I could use what was there to begin with, but you...

I’ve tried using the rotary tools for the rivets. Unfortunately, I haven’t found one that works quite as well as just punching them in one at a time. I think I used a little over 2 rolls of the 12”...

Hi Nuno- the rivet markings are made from various sized brass tubes. You don’t have to press very hard to get them to appear. The panel lines are in areas where two different pieces of Flite Metal...

I do not have any flap/elevator mix programmed. I use as much flap as was mechanically possible, but I think it was a little less than what Skymaster called for. I can check the exact flap setting...

There should be a large air cylinder to open the canopy- same style that is used for the gear doors, except longer. Mine was attached to the fuselage, but not to the canopy as you do have to remove...

The T-33 flies well and handles grass no problem with the large wheels. You do have to concentrate on the landings though- the narrow gear makes it easy to tip onto the wing tanks, and crosswind...

I used silicone glue on mine, but in my pre-build search I did come across one build thread where they used blind nuts and bolts to attach the tanks so they were removable.
