replicant Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) Hello Britmodellers! This is my oldy 1967er Hasegawa T-38A Talon, finished in 1999/2000, only one picture by me before this. Decals were altered originals and from Microscale. Pilot is borrowed from a Monogram F-15. It´s a German one in USA with a first solo flight, 60ties model and a hybrid between old Hase and the much better cockpit and spine section and other parts of an Italeri F-5F, wrong wingspan is greater now too, correct intakes are handmade. It can (without moving the front wheel) flip the rudder and make 5 mph while canopy open only by that (i loved Flipper and other dolphins so much), a little bit of a what if, mates! BTW the box: i was always and i am a non-smoker! Cheers, Thomas Edited April 24, 2018 by replicant typo 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRunner Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Very nice. The F-5B/T-38 is a pretty machine and you've captured that beautifully here. Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, for me the Talon is one of the best looking planes ever. And she is a real sportsplane and pilots plane like the F-5 and so ideal for example Top Gun. I will keep her good!

Luis Alfonso Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Congratulations for this Wonderful build Thomas, really deserves to replicate. I always has been a T-38/F-5 fan and have some of them in my stash to be built, hope to get a litle closer as your at least in 40% and will be more than happy with the result. Thank you very much for sharing!!! Cheers, Luis Alfonso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterblank Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Holy smokes that's the Hasegawa kit??? Great job with the inlets! Best regards...Duncan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Knowing what the base kit looks like (more F-5B than T-38), this is an excellent result. You have really done a wonderful job with this kit and the hard work has paid off handsomly. Very well modelled and photgraphed. Cheers..

Eric Mc Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 That is really nice. I have one of these set aside for a NASA example and I'd delighted if mine turned out anywhere near as good as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Really nice T-38. You have turned this into something special. Can I ask what paints you used for the orange? Cheers Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Thomas PS: color was (and i am happy i have some fresh cans left) classic Humbrol Color 192 Matt Blaze FS 28915/RAL 2005 Leuchtorange, a color used both by Luftwaffe and USAF (this Talon is Luftwaffe owned with stars n bars) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
