@Kursad,
Any plans on making a T-37 Tweet sheet as well? There are a plethora of options among the few basic training schemes of all natural metal, white & red, all white, and white & strata blue. I'm itching to build a 1/48 Tweet to go with my 1/48 366th Wg Collection. I just found a photo of a T-37 in Strata Blue & White with MO tails codes circa 1996.
@Vince Maddux,
I take it then that the Monogram/Revell/Encore kit is better than the Trumpeter kit?
K/r, Dutch
I have both kits. I think the main draw back is the raised panel lines on the Monogram kit,but on the other hand I like the raised rivets on it, to me it just fits the model.
Although I haven't built my Trumpeter kit ,I can tell a lot of the parts break down was inspired (copied?) from the Monogram kit. With the engraved panel lines , to me, it just looks too smooth, but that's just me. One major issue with the Trumpeter kit is the decals are wrong. its has an intake warning chevron that was never applied to the A-37. I've only seen it on a civil warbird.

The Transavia PL-12 Airtruk is very cool! IMHO, it's better looking that its predecessor, the Bennet Airtruck.
Yeah the Bennet has a face only a mother could love, if it was kept in the basement and rarely seen. I think the only way that plane could fly is it was so ugly the earth repelled it.

The water washable resin from Elegoo has to be the best resin I've used. It hold great detail and clean up is a snap. Just rinse it with water and 20 min. in my curing chamber.
Another thing no one has mentioned slicing programs, and picking the right one and the the learning curve involved with them. There are so many to choose from.

Nothing is right about that plane its odd and ugly which is why it's so cool!

I have a Photon resin printer and a Creality CR-10 the uses the spools of filament. I have been using CAD for 25 years and I really good at 3D. but its as taken over a year of drawing to do the airplanes i want to print. Btw, I found a water washable resin made by Elegoo that makes it a part a lot easier to clean in post-processing . You can find tons of things to print on https://www.thingiverse.com/

As much as I love the Scooter, I always thought the main gear on the A-4 looked kind of spindly as well.
I was thinking the same, but it looks better with drop tanks on both wings
The early Mig-29 and SU-27 prototypes with the nose gear way out in front look awful

The F-5F is the two seater version F-5E, Another plane has a twin seat equivalent , is the A-4, this two seat jet is called the TA-4J. Great plane, just need more decals for it....
Does this help un-hijack this tread 😜

Travel pod? at least that's what it looks like to me. But is also looks like a Napalm tank like the A-37 use to use. Maybe repurposed?

Yeah they do.........
I'm glad you made me look for the set.. I've realised they are available again!! Thank you!!
ok, That's a new one on me. I may have to get a set
-
To the best of my knowledge , no one makes a set of flaps and slats for the B-1 in any scale.
-
I almost wish that they went overall blue, But I'm sure the white will reduce heat in the cockpit. Any rate, It looks great.

You sir have my undivided attention. Monogram's A-37 is my all time favorite kit.
-
With the tip of the vertical stabilizer being yellow, I wonder if they did the wing tips and the tips of the stabs yellow like the team's jets?
-
I could use a reprint too. Monogram never put interesting decals in their kit.

How hard would it be to convert Hobbyboss's A model to an E without just buying and new kit

I wished I could have got their TAV-8B conversion.
-
I was hoping to see something new to the paint scheme too. but as it's been said its tradition. But its not like they haven't changed their paint schemes before (Panther to Cougar). Fat Albert is going to have a new look, why not the rest of the team?.... I have a crazy idea, get a T-6 and bring back Beetle Bomb!

The logo appears to retain the "Legacy" Hornets in the diamond...LEXs should be wider.
No one has made new update decals for it yet!

YES! Do that one.
Best 1/48 A-37/T-37: Monogram or Trumpeter?
in Jet Modeling
Posted
Monogram.
to make a T-37 you will have to:
add a bulge in front of the intakes
find make flat main gear doors
remove the gun and the camera in the nose
fill in areas where the intake screens go.
fill in the pylon slots
build wing tips.
also the T-37 doesn't have the large trust deflectors
That's the basics. For extra credit you can:
fix the belly the engines on the T-37 and not as deep as the A-37
and the main wheels are thinner .
That's all I can think of off the top of my head when I did my conversion. Alot of this, if not all would apply to the Trumpeter kit.
