TV-2

I am looking for a model of the US Navy TV-2 in 1/72 scale. If that is not available how about a USAF T-33. One final option a conversion kit for a USAF F-80. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Richard

Try Hobbycraft for a 1/48th scale T 33. its not brilliant but can be made into something decent with a little work. I built the RT-33 photo recce bird in natural metal a while ago, with a few different shades of silver it looked okay, and I sold it last week to a friend who raved over it!
Didn’t Revell do an F-80?

Hi Pete,

Do you know of a 1/72 scale?

Hasegawa makes a 1/72 T-33. Don’t know about the quality as I haven’t gotten one yet.

Don’t believe there has ever been a 1/72 injected model of the TV-2 produced. However back in the late 70’s, early 80’s, I believe that Squadron offered a vacu formed kit in that scale.

BTW, the Hasagawa T-33 kit is a pretty good kit if you can find one (IMHO).

The vacuform kit was by Griffin and it was a T2V, not a TV-2.
