Bonanza F-33
The Beechcraft Bonanza was developed just after the end of WWII and first flown in 1947. Designed as a
low wing high performance private aircraft, the "V" tailed Bonanza combined performance and sleek looks
to deliver a very effective private airplane. However after years of utilizing the famous "V" tail design there
were numerous crashes mostly attributed to pilot error but the "V" tail design was recognized as a factor. In
the hands of inexperienced pilots the "V" tail could be difficult to master. The decision was made in the late
1950's to modify the Bonanza V-35 to use a redesigned conventional tail, rudder and elevator structure that
significantly change the looks of the Bonanza. This kit represents the "re-designed" Bonanza F-33 from
1966.
This new 1/48 scale kit features new tail tooling, and new markings with decals printed by Cartograf.
Standard features include detailed 6 cylinder air cooled engine, removable cowling, detailed interior and
position-able landing gear.

- Page 8 Your Minicraft model includes high-quality waterslide decals. These decals adhere best to a glossy surface; and it is recommended that you apply a clear gloss coat over your painted model. Use a sharp scissors or knife to cut individual decals from the carrier sheet. Do not cut into the clear film surrounding the individual decals.
