Trumpeter 02852 1/48 US T-38A Talon - Precision Trainer Replica

The Trumpeter 1/48 US T-38A Talon recreates the clean contours of the original trainer in fine scale. Parts are sculpted to convey the jets aerodynamic profile and offer a satisfying build experience.

Construction Experience and Presentation

Expect well-defined components and logical assembly sequences that suit modellers with some experience. With careful preparation and masking, the finished model presents well in a display case or on a modelling shelf.

Role and Heritage

The T-38A served as a fast and nimble trainer from the 1960s onward, shaping pilot training programs. This kit reflects those design priorities without adding speculative details.
