Just opened up a big box from Mr. Fiorenze. Christmas came a little early this year. Looking at the contents, WOW. NIce fiberglass, panel lines and rivets.... Very good detail. When I ordered the kit, I spoke with Mr. Fiorenze. VERY nice gentleman to talk with. I hope he didnt get to bored with me after all the questions I asked. Very helpful. Now all I have to do is build this thing, power will be RAM 750. Color schemes? Ive seen a few T38A's, but I would like to do a Bravo model. Any ideas for documentation? Anyways I know this really doesnt pertain to the original thread, but this is a nice kit with good instructions and really nice parts and also very good customer service at a low price!!!!!

AT-38B photo
Here's a picture of the current paint scheme for the AT38B. I flew them in the AF as an instructor in the Fighter lead-in program years ago. Still a great airplane. Check out: Northop's T-38 Talon, A Pictorial History by Don Logan. A Schiffer military history book. Photo's of almost every T-38 paint scheme.
I have 2 of the George Miller kits-about the same if not exact size. One 80% done for a RAM 750PR.

Cause there's fuel venting from the inverted one! 
Probably a very simple venting system, as they aren't intended for more than a few seconds of (-)g's. Either that or it's just a little transient burp.
I was once watching a 747 take off from another airliner at the hold-short line. Thing must have been fueled for transpacific, because GALLONS of fuel came out of a trailing edge vent as it accelerated down the runway. Must have been pouring for the first 10 seconds or so.

AT38B Armament info
The AT-38B could carry a SUU-20 Bomb-Rocket dispenser or a SUU-11 Gun Pod. The bombs were 25# standard practice ones (BDU-33) and the rockets were 2.75". The gun was a 7.62.
The aircraft was modded with an adjustable sight and the necessary switches to deliver the weapons as found on fighters the students would see.
