Review
The West’s most important post-WWII jet trainer gets full-on “Italian Aviation Series” treatment in this installment of the colorful range.
Available North America from Casemate, T-33A/RT-33A Shooting Star totals 68 pages – including covers. And sandwiched therein, author Federico Anselmino recaps Italy’s use of the landmark F-80 derivative in both Italian and English.
The compact, picture-packed chronicle also sports color and B&W photos, detail shots, color artwork, tech-manual excerpts, and even period advertising. The profiles alone provide plenty of potent project potential.
Seeking colorful T-Bird schemes? Seek here!
Extended, explanatory captions accompany images. And technical data, acknowledgements, and references conclude contents. But the model build of Heller’s classic 1:72-scale kit is a bit dated.
Recommended.
