I saw this while routing around Mega Hobby's web site. Not a whole lot of information. almost nothing on Trumpeter's web site.
1/48 scale, 80 parts and photo-etch. It could be the 1st nice T-38 kit ever produced. Feb 2014.
I might have to pre order it.
wolf pack recently released a new tool 1/48 talon. only problem is the wheels. I can't remember if they were over or under scale. not much of a problem in my opinion. seeing it has an accurate outline, people will ditch the trumpy kit. wolf pack goes for about the same price.

it looks like a limited run kit but it's far from it. there was a build thread over on arc I was following and didn't see any major problems. going for about 30 to 35 USD.
tamiya 1/48 P-47D $25 + shipping
tamiya 1/48 mosquito $20+ shipping
hobby boss 1/48 F-105G. wings and fuselage cut from sprue. $40+ shipping.
I have the Wolfpack kit and it looks very good in the box.

I missed the Wolfpack release.
I have the Trumpeter on preorder and I'll have to pick up the Wolfpack kit to compare.
One problem is I can't get on Wolfpacks website. It seems to be down.
It's kind of strange to go so long without a good T-38 kit and now we have 2.
the 1/1 scale ones i worker on in the air force were pretty easy to work on. look up the OAT-38B hrom Holloman aft if you need inspiration.
Yup, I kind of have a soft spot for the 1/1 scale T-38s the Airforce let me play with as a young man.
Good news on the T-38! I have a question for you T-38 guys. I have a 1/48 Fujimi T-38A inbound. Any comments good or bad on the kit?

The Fujimi kit is actually 1/50 scale and has little in the way of cockpit detail. OK for a ceiling hangar I guess.

Thanks John! I was afraid of that. Oh well, at least I have a T-38 now.
I pre ordered the Trumpeter kit and bought the Wolfpack kit off of ebay. I won't have them for a while, but when I get them I'll post some comparison photos.

I hate to admit it but I have the Testers 1/48 T-38 release. I don't know anything about it past though.

I got a surprise in the mail today!
My Wolfpack T-38 came today. I was not expecting it for at
least 2 more weeks.
At first look its wonderful! nice detail, great decals, and canopy masks.
At first look the main wheels do look a tad small, but it's hard to tell at
this point.
The real bummer is there is no decals for Williams AFB, but I think I
can work around it.
Oh, and I have to wait until February for my Trumpeter kit.
Megahobby just sent me a tracking number, my T-38 is in the mail!
And It looks like Trumpeter has an A-37 coming out soon. I hope it can be backdated
to a T-37.
