RE: t38 back from painter
Did you get the tranfers from Aeroloft? That's the same T-38 that I modeled several years ago. It is based here at Ellington Field in Houston. I had Aeroloft do the graghics from pics I took out at NASA.
I actually modeled that particular plane twice. At one time it was the only NASA T-38 that sported the blue and gray Aggressor camo scheme. It arrived from the USAF in that paint job and it still looked very good, so they just removed all the USAF markings and put on the NASA stuff. I built a George Miller kit and powered it with a Byron fan and an OS.91. It was the best flying D/F I have ever flown. A year or so later I built another Miller kit, but by then, they had painted the 965 bird to the familiar NASA scheme so I did mine that way.
Good luck with yours.
