1/72 Diecast Northrop T-38

This 1/72 scale diecast model replicates the Northrop T-38 flown by NASA in the 1976 Thunderbirds Bicentennial scheme. It features diecast metal and plastic construction with realistic panel lines, antennas and surface details. The model includes a pilot figure, an opening canopy and a display stand. It arrives in the manufacturer's original unopened packaging.

For collectors of military aviation history

The model suits enthusiasts who value accurate scale replicas of historic USAF aircraft. Buyers who need larger display pieces or models with motorised functions should look elsewhere. The fixed 1/72 scale limits compatibility with dioramas built to different scales.

Display-ready desktop model

The included stand allows immediate shelf or desk placement without extra hardware. Diecast construction adds weight for a stable, realistic feel on any flat surface. The opening canopy offers a view of the cockpit interior while the pilot figure adds authenticity. Dimensions are approximately 7.75 inches long with a 4.25 inch wingspan.
