Trumpeter 1/48 Scale T-38C Talon 02878 in NASA Scheme

The Trumpeter 1/48 T-38C Talon provides Australian modellers with a solid platform to build a convincing NASA-era trainer. The kit emphasises accurate outer surfaces and clean panel lines, helping you achieve a convincing finish in 1/48 scale.

Aircraft Background and Accuracy

The T-38C's use as a trainer for flight crews and astronauts is well documented, and the kit reproduces the aircraft's silhouette and proportions to mirror that history. Attention to the airframe detail helps the final model read correctly on display.

What to Expect During the Build

Expect a focused build that benefits from test fitting and light sanding. The parts are arranged to make assembly straightforward while still rewarding careful modelling techniques like seam filling and precise masking.

Collecting and Display Tips

Finished, the model sits well on a display stand or within a larger aerospace grouping. The NASA livery gives it instant recognition and pairs well with other contemporary trainers in a collection.
