Starfighter84 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Good night to all, I'm glad to present my last work, a T-38 A Talon from Wolpack. I've built the kit OOB except for some scratchbuilt addictions in the cockpit (i.e. the separation glass of the central frame) and in the wheels/airbrakes bay. I also added the positive rivets from Archer on the exhausts zone. Pilot's name decal on the rear canopy taken from the Fundekals sheet. Hope you'll enjoy... take care and stay safe in this difficult moments. Cheers frome Rome. Valerio.

Whiskey Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I believe that is what most artist's would consider a masterpiece. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mstor Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Beautiful finish. Amazingly flawless gloss white. Looks as if the crew chief spent all night polishing her. I couldn't paint a white coat like that to save my life. Well done Sir! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aircommando130 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Awesome NASA 38! Now you should build an AF F-106B that the original 7 flew that in that picture of all of them together to go with it! On a side note...wish somebody would do decals for the NASA F-18B that flew at Edwards in 1/32nd scale! Again..."great job" on that NASA T-38! Cheers...Ron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rocketdrvr Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Gorgeous Build! NASA T-38's a one of the few Talons that are kept so clean and immaculate looking! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Underdog Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Valerio, Nicely executed build of your NASA T-38 Talon. The cockpits look very believable, just the right amount of colors in the right places. The aircraft paint application is outstanding, as the color White can sometimes be challenging in getting it right. You did a superb job! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers...Ron Agreed, that would be a great looking model - especially with all 7 Astronauts standing with the aircraft. The Mercury Seven astronauts with a Convair F-106B Delta Dart aircraft at Langley Air Force Base.

MajorTom2004 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Hi Valerio. First of all, my best wishes for health and support to all of you in Italy. Nobody deserves what your country is going through, at last Italy. Now to your model: I am impressed about your clean build, extremely nice finish and the presentation. Currently I build the same one, obviously missing some detail information, like the separation glass between the two cabin parts. I did not notice this in all my documentary material, what references did you use? All the best from the neighborhood Thomas Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Thomas and thank you for your solidarity. 🙂 1 hour ago, MajorTom2004 said: Currently I build the same one, obviously missing some detail information, like the separation glass between the two cabin parts. I did not notice this in all my documentary material, what references did you use? The base of my reference had been the DACO book - at pages 37/39/40 you have a clear view of the central window. But I've also found some interesting pics on the web: To reproduce the window I've used a cutting plotter and a trasparent acetate sheet. The outer frame is made by kabuki adesive tape (on the aft cockpit side) and by plasticard (on the inner side).
