Iliad Design of Canada has released a new decal sheet covering the T-33 - Cool Camo T-Birds.
As the name implies, all five options wear camouflage paint - no bare metal to be seen here!

Three T-33s and two Canadian CT-133 are covered on the sheet.

Decals are printed perfectly on my sample, and colours look good.
These are five interesting subjects for your 1/48 scale T-Birds.
This one has been out of print for quite some time and makes a welcome return - with an extra scheme to boot!
Thanks to Iliad Design for the review sample.
