Hope you enjoy and I count on your visit!
I'm a sucker for anything with straight wings. I wish Monogram would re-release their A-37. I'd snap one up in a heartbeat.
Thanks for posting the great pictures!!

Wow that plane is hanging some serious go-juice tanks!

Well, it may not say Monogram on the box but this Encore kit is the Monogram kit with some enhancements and is currently available www.squadron.com/.../ec48002.htm
My dad called those 'the most efficient converter of energy to noise known to man!' :-)
Looks like they need more fuel tanks.

We also called them the 6,000 pound dog whistle.
can't keep a good tweet down.
Are those fuel tanks, or bombs, under the wings?
Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...
Fuel tanks

I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

Huh? Say that again? I can't quite hear you!!

I took advantage of one of Squadron's sales and ordered this kit, along with the metal landing gear, underwing fuel tanks and decals (The decal set includes a couple of birds from Edwards AFB). It arrived a couple of days ago, and wow, it's a nice kit. I hope it goes together as well as it looks in the box.
The T-37 used the J69 and the A-37 the J85 both jet engines. The XF-84H "Thunderscreach" probably beats them both. Remember the 'Screach' engine noise resonated at a frequency that caused ground crew to loose their lunch or worse.
My source tells me that the A-37 was a very thirsty airplane. Converted from a trainer they were a bit short on internal fuel and drop tanks were a necessity.
Chasing the ultimate build.
I found a recording of an F-84D Thunderscreach. Don't turn this up too loudly like I did.

Did you'll hear that Cessna is re-entering the combat aircraft market? Wonder how long before a kit of the new Cessna Scorpion arrives.
