The full-size
The T-33 "Shooting Star" - better known under its nickname of "T-Bird" (due to the wings sticking straight out from the fuselage) - was developed as a two-seater version of the F-80 fighter-bomber. The T-33 first flew back in 1948. In addition to its role as trainer for young combat jet pilots, the T-Bird was adopted by smaller airforces as a light attack or reconnaissance aircraft.
The model
The moulded foam components of the model T-33 feature excellent surface detail based on the full-size, incorporating all panel lines, maintenance hatches and many other details. All servos, the fan unit, the brushless motor and the speed controller are factory-installed in the airframe components. The major components are supplied with coloured decals applied; all you have to do is glue them together.
