I’m not sure how it would be done. I just love the look of them and historically they’re significant as the first U. S. jet to see combat. I couldn’t find any RC models except for large scale, multi-thousand dollars
Seems difficult with foam board because everything is curved or tubular
So is this...
Tip tanks wouldn't be very hard take a look at my L-39 which is also distinguished by their tip tanks.
So are most planes... boxify it and you are set. It can still retain much of the loved profile from the side or from above.
or you can do like @SP0NZ and @nerdnic , et. al. do and conify everything.
look at @Mid7night F-4 canopy/design.
You get the idea. heck I Boxified the Heaven's Spade Carrier and it looks great! if you can fly identify and have fun with it, what does it matter?
Less Heming and Hawing and more "I got this!" It's what I like to hear! Let's see what you can do.That's a very valid point! If I could do a T-33, I'm almost thinking about doing the Tip Tanks, molded in Polycarbonate (Lexan).
They would actually be lighter than DTFB!! Also, far smoother, and can take bumps and scrapes MUCH better than any Foam Core Board!!
........ I'll probably be doing the Canopy that way too!
And in under 180 days!GREAT EXAMPLE ABOVE!!! Look at the builds around here. It will blow your Mind, what's possible with DTFB!!!
I earned my Jet Wings on a T-33, since I'd LOVE to Fly the Foamie version!!! The only big problem might be the Tip Tanks, which were a very distinguishing feature.
It amazed me that the Plane I trained on, was Designed a Year after Pearl Harbor!!

You MET HIM!?!!!??
Well, yes! He and my Dad got together when he took Kelly up in the SR-71 Blackbird (which my Dad flew from 1969-74). They became friends, and he was over often. They kicked around ideas, and came up with the D-21... The first successful Supersonic Drone.

Here's a picture of my Dad, standing next to Kelly, at a place that doesn't exist!!!
Awsome build by the way
