Fantastic result. Great modelling and very good photography (although it doesn't deserve to be in anyone's crosshairs 😉 )

I sprayed some extra 2k last week, less peel but stille some. It took only 8 hours of wet sanding with a 4000 grit cloth to get rid of most of the peel.
Polishing is next

You probably would have guessed it / figured it out already by now... but, just in case:
Seeing what's visible (just behind the helmet) and checking on Joe Baugher's site of serial numbers, this seems to be most probably, if not certainly,
Lockheed T-33A-1-LO, c/n 580-6124, s/n 51-6792... so "buzz number" TR-792... that served with 3560th PTW.
I have a deep respect for such personal modelling projects - good luck with this!

OK, so I am doing another Phantom. Almost as surprising as me doing an Eagle. 😄 LOL
So, I was asked to do one to use the landing gear and exhaust set by 3D Chute Expert out of Taiwan. My club Pres has a page that he highlights builds and products, and 3D is one of the companies he showcases. So he sent me this set, which is not in the database here yet. But to the build.
This is the Academy kit. I LOVELOVELOVE this kit. This is my 3rd one. The only drawback to the kit is the gear wells, but I think I have the best way to do them figured out now. Still the only part of the kit I detest. So, as I wait for the Eduard PE for the cockpit to get here, I moved right on to the landing gears. As I said, I was given this set to try out, and I will give my honest opinion. You all know I dont mince words. LOL That being said, these things are great! The detail is superb. They fit right into the wheel well with no hassles. I simply hit them with some gloss white, a dirt wash as this is going to be Col Olds's plane as it flew, not as the museum piece. Did a couple of the lines black and poof, thats it. No need to add any parts from the kit (aside from maybe landing lights) as they have every detail already on them. A total winner in my book.
And as to the subject matter. If you dont already know, Col Robin Olds (he eventually made Brigadier General) was one of the best pilots to grace the cockpit of an aircraft. Triple ace between WWII and Nam. Definitely should read up on him. There arent many, if any, left like him. If youre a Phantom phan and a USAF guy, this plane is a must do. 🙂

Landing gear installed and wings together. Intakes together and done with the latex paint method. Got the PE for the pit finally, so that has commenced as well.

OK, PE installed for the pit. The lading gears came with wheels as well. And they are just as nice as the gears. Just gotta add a little dirt to em. And the seats from the kit. I could have sworn I had some resin seats in my parts box, but alas, no. I ordered the PE belts to dress up these. They are pretty good aside from no belts. I need to redo the oh shit handles.

Gorby, I watched with great interest the whole progress of the construction. Your scratchbuil skills are top notch and the result of your efforts is truly phenomenal. 👍
I agree with bughunter, I'm sure there would be plenty of people at the show who would want to know what kit you used to build the model. 🙂

The power pack is fitted to the kit. The modified engine rack is not accurate but looks good enough. Now to apply supporting parts and some putty.

Łukasz, I know the old kits from KP Prostějov very well. I built them all as a kid, starting with their first model Aero L-29 Delfin up to Mi-4 helicopter. At that time they were one of the few models available. These early models were completely of KP Prostějov's own production and were quite high quality for their time. They have nothing in common with the current KP Prostějov kits.

Mark, thank you for the feedback. That is great work! I am not near that level but will give it a go to learn based on the guidance.

You are more than welcome Aman. Mate I'm nowhere near the level I think I am 🤣 I came back to the hobby in 2017 in earnest in 2020 I'm still learning new techniques, experimenting and seeking help now and again. Remember if it looks like a duck, it's a duck. Mind you someone will be along shortly and tell you it's spelt D.U. K.W. Actually 🤣 As long as you are happy with it that's the main thing. Thank you all for the recent likes on this build too.
