Does anyone know where i can get a Kyosho T-33 Shooting Star kit from in the U.K and how much it usually costs?

Hi Alexis,
That model is regularly advertised in the model mags. I’ll try & find a phone number. One you might try is Mick Charles models 0208 393 3232. Another is SMC 0190 3207525
I also think that Stu Mackay imports a very acurrate scale model of the T-33, but it’s a lot more expensive. If you’re interested I’ll find out more details for you.
Cheers,
Neilly

I’m going back to about 1973 or 4 here, so no chance of it being on video. I do have a clear memory of that lovely plane with the black gloss finish and the knight on the nose flying very low over a cornfield. I was a nipper at the time, but the image stuck. I read somewhere that OHB had a bit of a penchant for low flying-beating up Duxford in his Sea Fury and such like.
Found a Kyosho site earlier, but alas, no T33.
Would make a spectacular flying model though…….

WHAAAAAAT.
I’ve never heard of this. Ever on video?
And yes i am going to make it up as the Black Knight but not a flyer. It’s the biggest T-33 i’ve come across and will need a little converting as the rear end has a huge opening for the air to blow out. A bit like my missus.

Guess that’ll be the Black Knight colour scheme plan then?
Would look superb. I remember a television series from the 70’s for children’s t.v called “The Long Chase”. I remember it for 2 reasons 1-Jan Francis was in it 2-low flying scenes with that plane, with the nose art clearly visible!
