I wonder if the top side are correct, it looks like those were taken from an aircraft exposed to the sun for a looong time. Correct colors would be RAL 6014 and RAL 7012. There are more decals missing than just the two crosses
Some Corel Draw work today...
BTW, those contain the correct serial number of 94+55
Thank you, and glad you got your T-33 finally.

Returning home early didn't work today . Nevertheless I couldn't resist opening the box when arriving at home.
Keep calm: no new unboxing videos, no additional photos of German Luftwaffe design!
So far it's looking good. Not perfect because of wrinkles in two decals but - who's perfect? Not me! And you will not see it from 1m distance.
For the time being I don't plan to do modifications on this bird. I'm not a scale junkie. But - maybe I will add the landing light ... But first I will try out the flying behaviour. According to the vidoes I watched it will be an easy trial.
What I will do is installing a GRAUPNER GR-18 receiver because it comes with a build in GYRO . Don't want to start the discussion again but our flying field has some high trees on the south side which create some heavy turbulences when having stronger wind. Already had some critical situations because of the turbulences.
To also hit the second discussion - I'm using a GRAUPNER MC-32 remote control .
And I will definitivly install a Unisens-E. This tiny module allows to follow the capacity used so that I have always a save margin even with different flight styles. And maybe I will exchange the multi pin connectors by MPX style plugs that seem more durable to me. And last but not least I need to modify the battery connector as I'm using XT types on all batteries (XT90 for 6S 5000 mAh).
So plenty of things to do before maiden. This will take a while because I only have time on weekends for my hobby. And the weather in Germany -1 Photo

Been enjoying this new T-bird. Probably had 10 flights to date and love its flight characteristics. I really wish the main gear had springs that weren't quite so stiff. If you land hard enough to stretch those springs, they will bounce you right back up! Discovered this during a flight in gusty conditions. Not a happy result!Two flights of my Freewing T-33 this weekend. Second flight ends unfortunately!

thanks for any info ..........
