"High high high... like a rocket to the sky!" T-38A ‘The White Rocket’ in service with NASA

by Roland Sachsenhofer on October 28, 2024 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Elegant, beautifully curved shapes with a high recognition value, a brute performance that seems to stand in fascinating contrast to its graceful appearance and a long service history in which it has made itself indispensable in many areas [...]

Trainer: Northrop T-38C Talon II – Trumpeter 1/48

by Andrew H on August 20, 2021 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

This post will be quick and dirty, just like this build. The kit itself is very simple, as is the airframe. It does have a nice petite coke-bottle shape that most can appreciate, and the model itself scream petite when you pick it up. It [...]

Trumpeter T-38C Talon, 1/48

by Ramon R. Lomeli on January 4, 2021 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Hello again iModeler! Here is my Trumpeter T-38C Talon, built completely OOB. This was a fun kit and I had no problems with it during construction. I purchased and built this kit last summer, so it did not stay idle in my stash for long. [...]

Naked T-38

by George R Blair Jr on January 6, 2019 · in Photo Collections · 13 ≡

In 1990, I was an instructor pilot and wing staff officer assigned to Randolph AFB in San Antonio, Texas. At the time, the wing was flying T-37's and T-38's. I was on my way back from a meeting and happened to pass the wing paint shop [...]

T-38 Talon (White Rocket)

by Greg Kittinger on October 10, 2018 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

I'm saving the Cam Ranh Bay post for last, so skipping ahead in sequence to post-Vietnam. Dad was posted to the Air Force Academy as his next billing, but the only reason he joined the air force was to fly (he had his pilot's license [...]

by paul teixeira on February 15, 2018 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

I always loved the T-38 but had never built this ride as a 1/48 Kit. When a good customer of mine asked if I could build one for him in standard trainer scheme I jumped at the chance. I researched the two competing kits of this bird [...]

Wolfpack 1/48 T-38

by Brad Bronov on January 12, 2018 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Another completion from last year. Not too much to say about this guy...the kit was fair, some parts better than others. The resin included by Wolfpack was pretty darned good, but the PE was miserable to work with...Manufacturers, please [...]

T-38C Talon in 1/48 Scale by Trumpeter

by George Tufnail on July 10, 2016 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

I built this one just because I could. Totally out of the box, with paint by Testors Model Master enamels, washes by AK Interactives, and decals from the box that fought me tooth and nail. Even the photo-etch seatbelts were less trouble [...]

T-38A Talon in 1/48 scale by Wolfpack.

by Tony Prince on January 29, 2014 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Finding this kit was sheer good fortune as my local IPMS Club (IPMS - NSW) is having a "Two Seat Trainer" competition later this year & I had thoughts of entering. I hadn't heard of Wolfpack before, but I liked the box image [...]
