Wolfpack
1/48 Northrop T-38A
I have
started on the cockpit, and find that while fit is generally good, you
have to be careful with alignment because a lot of things have few molded
edges to fit,
your eyeballs are your friend, or not. There is one area, as pointed
out by Michael Benolkin on ARC, that needs adjustment. The front
instrument panel as molded
forces the glare shield up too high, interfering with the fit of the
windscreen. I removed some material from the lower pedestal, a nub
from the left side of
the instrument panel, and thinned down the glare shield where it fits the
top of the panel. I also tapered the back of the panel at the top,
and shaped the glare
shield around the front edges where it meets the fuselage. I think
everything is happy now. Nothing is glued on these pictures except
the seat rails in the tub.
There is a lot of detail that is nice, rivets and such are quite good, for
my taste the panel lines are a little broad but it seems like only
Hasegawa and
sometimes Tamiya and Revell/Monogram (on their newer kits) can get that
the way I like it.
