Collin Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 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.

skyhawk174 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Wow love that scheme and your model looks great. Your seat belts also look wonderful and I try to do that with my kits too. I am not a big fan of the PE sets as they look too thin in my mind. Did those markings come in the box? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Collin Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 Those are separately purchased Wolfpack-D USNTPS decals. Think I grabbed them off of EBay. Cheers Collin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Hmmm. I had to read your article to understand TPS wasn't Tactical Paint Scheme. Nice build, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great job 👍😎 Hope to see more Navy subjects from your table in the future. Cheers, Mr.Happy (In name only) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Janissary Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Looks so wonderful. How did you like the kit? I wish I had stuck with mine, I got into working on the rivets (to deepen them) and never survived it due to the extremely closely packed rivets. I had finished the cockpit but nothing else. You may have mentioned this in another thread, and others may already know this, but can you share your time in the navy? Years, what aircraft did you fly, etc?

FlyAndFight Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Great looking Talon! I've got about 4 or 5 of this kit. It's like the P-51D - there are so many nice markings available that I need to have several of the same kit! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eraucubsfan Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 You did them great justice, need to build one of these too! How are the decals? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Collin Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 Decals were great, no real issue. Just have to be careful with the section around the aux air intakes on the fuselage below the front of the tail. That can be tricky. All the decals are thin and settle down really nice with just a tad of setting solution. Cheers Collin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
