Product Description

――The T-33 Shooting Star, a jet trainer that is familiar in Japan, is an important player in the history of aviation as one of the representatives of the first generation of jet military aircraft.
――It is operated in countries all over the world and has trained many pilots for a long time.
――In the United States, the Navy adopted it as a TV-2 in addition to the original Air Force, and it was used for a long time not only as a trainer aircraft but also for various other missions.
――Similar to the T-33 in the Air Force, the Navy's TV-2 had a modest but important mission, but some aircraft took on a special position unlike any other.
--For example, the acrobatics team Blue Angels representing the US Navy.
――In the early 1950s, it was adopted as a support machine for the team, and it flew all over the United States with the emblem of the traditional team.
-The model is a 1/72 kit that reproduces such a shooting star in Blue Angels.
--Blue Angels operated multiple shooting stars from 1952 to 1955, but with this kit, we selected the markings of two aircraft around 1954/55 with the entire surface painted blue.
――At that time, Blue Angels was composed of F9F-5 Panther, but the appearance of the shooting star painted in gloss blue on the entire surface is the line of the shooting star originally born as a fighter. You can enjoy the finish that stands out even more.
-High quality silk screen printing made by Italian Cartograph as well as decals.
――It is a 1/72 kit that you can enjoy the appearance of a different `Navy shooting star` with the standard markings of the US Navy trainer at that time.
