Well I don't know how they always end up upside down. Kit looks good cant wait to get started..

Ron S we have flown T-28's and F-86's formation now you need to get one of these so we can fly these together Lets not collide again though and also pay attention two whos plane is whos

The air scoop is from Bob Fiorenze's T-38 kit. Im going to paint them to install them add to the scale looks

Hopefully I can get it done for Waco Jets..

I liked the T-38 when i saw it closely in a museum. Is T-38 and the ''TALON'' the same thing and if not how do you identify which is which.? i have a picture but i cannot say which one is.

I ordered my Thunderbird Talon in December, and was told yesterday it will finally be shipped to me next week !!! I will believe it when I see it.
I plan on using my Jetcat P-120, but will decide when I get the plane to see how it fits.

Is that how long Skymaster is taking to get a plane or only because this was just released?

Hi friends:

I had one skymaster T-38 of my friend Carlos in my home the last year and the model is really pretty, but a few little, I hope make one 1/5 scale model when I finish my Mirage project, I hope.
Regards from Spain.
Carlos

Worth the wait. That thing flys superbly. It's very well behaved even at slow speeds. I was impressed with the one the OK boys had at Mt. Pleasant.

Looks nice, Dave!... I'll think about getting one but I'll need a spotter to start poking me when I start flying the wrong plane!... [:@]
Now - we need more pictures of the little gray cat.

I am not actually sure of the normal delivery, as this is my first from them. In reference to Jetspuds just arrived kit, I like the added cooling scoops in the rear, as I planned on the same. I also will also add a pitot tube on the nose and modify the vertical fin tip to the resemble the scale version.

I ordered mine last dec or jan also so I would expect you is ready also.. It is a nice kit from what I have seen I haven't dug everything out I just unpacked and layed it together to take the pics...

I am planning on adding the pitot tube and the piece that's on top of the verticle stab..

Its probally not likely but I am going to try to put some smoke tanks in for smoke but the amount of room from the ones I have seen it might not be happening

Thanks, David. After seeing your first post yesterday, I was thinking they sent you my kit ! ( but mine has # 1 on the tail ) . I almost hyper-ventilated.
I have the dims and photos of the pitot and vertical fin tip ( UHF/VHF Radome) if you need, as I actually have these items new at my company. ( I supply T-38 /F-5 spare parts to the Govt and operators )
I'll post some photos as I get mine going too.

For the sake of others, myself, and the cat, I rotated the pictures of your T-38 for a better view. I got tired of looking at the pictures upside-down.

Thanks, I got tired of turning my monitor upside down.[]

Great looking David but you need to get off the computer and get the 38 ready for the Southwest.
