Model Airplane Factory offers you this elegant T-38 Talon trainer model display made by our gifted artists. T38 Talon trainer model display is hand carved from solid mahogany and completely hand painted. From raw kiln-dried mahogany wood, it undergoes processes to accomplish a precise T38 Talon display aircraft model trainer; from carving, sanding, coating, painting and detailing to a creatively done wooden replica of the T38 Talon. Every T-38 Talon wood trainer display is a work of art. The Talon T-38 USAF wood trainer model is meticulously carved and painted to reflect the true detail of the original Talon T-38 USAF. Every part and detail of the T-38 Talon wood trainer plane model is given equal attention to retain the actual specification of the T38 Talon. This T38 Talon trainer model display airplane made of mahogany comes with a metal stand and wooden base.


The T-38 was designed in the mid 1950s as the trainer variant of a lightweight fighter project (the N-156 project) by the Northrop Corporation (today part of Northrop Grumman). Although the United States Air Force had no need for a small fighter at the time, it became interested in the trainer as a replacement for the Lockheed T-33s it was then using in this role. The first of three prototypes (designated YT-38) flew on March 10, 1959. The type was quickly adopted and the first production examples were delivered in 1961, officially entering service on March 17 that year, complementing the T-37 primary jet trainer. When production ended in 1972, 1,187 T-38s had been built. Since its introduction, it is estimated that some 50,000 military pilots have trained on this aircraft. The USAF remains one of the few armed flying forces using dedicated supersonic final trainers, as most such as the US Navy use high subsonic trainers.

The T-38 is of conventional configuration, with a small, low, long-chord wing, a single vertical stabilizer, and tricycle undercarriage. The aircraft seats a student pilot and instructor in tandem, and has intakes for its two turbojet engines at the wing roots. Its nimble performance has earned it the nickname white rocket—in 1962, T-38s set four climb records.
