Platz 1/72 Lockheed T-33 Photoetch
By Matt Bittner
You would think that with a kit like Platz' 1/72 T-33 you wouldn't need much to make this kit a top-notch model. While yes, the Platz T-33 will look great built out-of-the-box, this photoetch from Platz adds just a bit more to an already superior model.
After you sand off the molded-in detail on each instrument panel, you then affix a two-part replacement IP from the photoetch set. These look excellent. Other parts included in the fret are replacement rudder pedals; replacement handles for each seat; various panels on the cockpit tub's sides; pieces to add to the sill under the canopy; plus within the canopy there are mirrors and other details to add.
For the landing gear, there are replacement retraction struts; replacement oleo struts; and other additions to the landing gear doors.
All in all an excellent addition to an already superior kit.
Thank you to Platz for sending the photoetch set to review.
