So maybe I missed a post, but when is the T-38 coming out and who's gonna upscale the vagabond thunderbird decal sheet for it?

Menelaos has kindly pointed out and reminded me that the HAF F-5's also had the AIM-9 fit in place of tip tanks on some aircraft, so its now 'game on' for me as as I no longer require an additional set of tip tanks  (however, markings are quite a different issue altogether ).

the Aegean blue color on the F-5A (only the A, none of the RFs or Bs ever painted with) had many derivations, light, dark, darker etc.... due to the climatic conditions and mixed colors that were used....

We can all dream but none will materialise I am afraid. Same goes for the HK models F-4 series. They have their hands full with the WWII topics. If it ever happens, maybe in 5 to 10 years...

Let's hope that, when and if they'll ever produce this aircraft in 1/32 as it is stated, it will have the correct dimensions / detail's accuracy (lines, panels, rivets, etc.). I'm saying this because neither the Classic Airframes nor, the Kinetic kit in 1/48 have these details correct.

[Tnarg]

The fact that they have a "point cloud" from a scan of a real aircraft should help to get things a lot closer than those kits that were measured with a tape measure sort of near the aircraft or scaled from a photo taken in 1916 should make it more likely that they get the shape reasonably close to what it should look like. That isn't everything in making the kit look "real", but it goes a long way towards that goal.

[Dan_in_SD]

I hope Tan models comes thru, this is a kit I'd like.

[Jack]

Yeah.....right........

[Guest Smitty44]

I am hopeful, but I do believe it was originally due out March of 2016
