George72 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) Hello! This is my Dragonfly as used in Vietnam in the '60's. It's a special kit for me because I graduated in the Air Force Academy in his older and less powerful brother, the T-37C. Nice little bird though. I wish they had a kit for it, for conversion from this one should be very demanding. I've used PE parts and the painting was free hand, since masking was very tricky for this scheme. Hope you enjoy! Cheers! George ps: the chart over the panel is a 1:250.000 of South Vietnam, of course..... Edited September 3, 2019 by George72 52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldy Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Very neat and tidy build George. Colours and scheme look great. And yes - a Tweet would be nice in 1/48! Cheers Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I echo what the others have said- a very, very nice 'attack' Tweet! I also wish we could get a T-37 in 1/72 and 1/48...I can see a bare metal Randolph Tweet in my future! (For it's size, the Tweety Bird has to be the noisiest little weenie cooker ever!)

Mike That's true. A very efficient trainer, the T-37, but noisy as hell!! Perhaps Trumpeter will hear us and release this kit.... Thanks! 41 minutes ago, phildagreek said: Nice. Thank you!!

Navy Bird Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Nice work. I've always liked the Dragonfly, but it doesn't seem to get the attention it should. Really good job on the SEA camo. Cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mig88 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Smashing job!! Well done! Yes the T-37 is an overlooked bird. I would fancy one in 1:144!. I saw a couple last month at the air museum in Sintra, Portugal, one being the base gate guard as the Portuguese Air Force flew them from the base there.
