First Look
Here is the latest release from Caracal Models for your favorite 1/48 T-33A Shooting Star kit. This set provides four examples wearing distinctive unit markings.
The subjects covered in this set include:
- T-33A, 52-9692, 101 FIS, Massachusetts ANG, 1984
- T-33A, 52-9803, 159 FIS, Florida ANG, 1983
- T-33A, 57-0580, 171 FIS, Michigan ANG, 1980
- T-33A, 53-5224, 146 FIS, Pennsylvania ANG, 1984
The markings are nicely printed (by Cartograf) and provide national markings, distinctive tail art markings as well as a nice set of airframe stencils. The decals are all single-layer - none of them require you to stack one decal atop another to recreate complex art as with some other decal manufacturers.

My sincere thanks to Caracal Models for this review sample!
