US Navy T-38A Test Pilot School

Recommended Posts

Fond of the T-38, shared the pattern with them during my flying in Pax River (almost had a mid-air with one as well).

 

This is the Wolfpack 1/48 kit OOB....well except for the dummy builder who broke the long pitot nose tube putting it on...that is a piece of metal tubing.  Milliput white seat belts.  Fun little kit and recommended.  I'm still frustrated with my canopy work, a problem area for me.  I messed up the front canopy a bit with the glue.  When you stand next to one of these you could eat off of them...the contractor maintenance at TPS did a great job keeping these birds looking good.  I decided not to weather this kit.

 

Cheers

I was at Boscombe Down on ETPS (ground staff) in 85/86 and as yours the red/white & blue (Raspberry Ripple) cabs were kept very clean. We had a T7 Hunter have a wing change and the only one available was in green/grey camouflage. It did look odd until it was painted. Great model by the way, why don’t they do a 1/32 kit.....
