Thank 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.
