The Northrop T-38 Talon earned its reputation as the first supersonic jet trainer and has served in pilot training roles around the world. Its long operational history, including service with the USAF and NASA, reflects the platform's adaptability and significance.

Scale modelling notes for the T-38C

Minor seam filling may be needed along some fuselage joins; a light application of modelling putty and gentle sanding will smooth panel transitions.
