In a way to commemorate our
Chilean National Day I like to share with you these pics of my Chilean Air
Force (FACh) T-33A that used to serve in the Grupos Nș7, Nș9 and Nș12.
In 1967 many Silver Stars based on Punta Arenas AB where painted in a 3
tone scheme: brown, grey and green. Most of the Chilean's T-33A and F-80C
flew until 1974.

This Hasegawa
kit is very old (I found it in eBay), and is a good choice for the 1/72
scale modellers. The detail is quiet good and the canopy very clear.
The
decals were too yellow because of the years (maybe 20 or more...). I
scratch built many parts of the cockpit like the front and rear panels,
hand sticks, seat belts. For the painting stage I used Humbrol 191 and
Model Master Metalizers. The decals belong to a special Chilean set that
sells here. I applied them after a coat of Future. For weathering, I
used pastels. Finally, I sprayed a coat of Model Master Metalizer sealer.
VIVA CHILE!!!!
