Lockheed T-38A Talon N821NA NASA
First details in cockpit, the kit cockpit is pretty nice
Instrument panels with decals, to me they look convincing
The box IP compared to the Eduard PE
Nozzels already painted
Kit seats in comparison to a resin one
Here with (scratch built) oxygen and anti-g tubes
Airbrakes from the Eduard set
Fuselages closed
Main and front wheel gears almost ready to mount
Canopies after sanding and polishing
Added some control levers to the canopy openers
First decoration
This is the 1993 paint scheme
... and this from 1977
I don't know yet what has caused the anti flare panel to get stained. Some touch up needed
First attempt to airbrush the travel pod for the 1977 livery, not happy with the result
Second try ....
... now it is ok.
The decals and panel lining on both fuselages ...
... are finished
both together
Now finishing the bottom side with air-brakes, landing gear, beacon etc
Standing on their own feet waiting for the final assembly
Finally finished
also this one
for whatever reason I managed to smudge one canopy literally in the last minute

Thomas TThank you very much, I highly appreciate all of your comments!
@Konrad: this should have been a triple build in fact, three times the same airframe serial. Soon I noticed that the 3rd kit (T-38C from Trumpeter) does not match the WP kits. So I ordered a WP T-38c, will be a upcoming project.

I've build the Black one Holloman AirBase also from WP.
