I could never tell the difference between an F5, T-38 or F-20, except maybe one of them having 2 seats. I had the FW F-5 and for me, it was a horrible plane to fly. It was twitchy and was like trying to control a jitter bug. Mine jitter bugged it's way into a lake a few years ago. Yesterday, a friend brought his F-5 to re-maiden after some extensive repairs from previous crashes (due to control difficulties) and once again, it was all over the sky. When he lowered the gear, it almost crashed. Oh, and he had a gyro in it. Landed it with great difficulty and broke more stuff. IMO, the F-5 was a failure, so if a T-38 would have similar flight characteristics, well .................................................. ....

Would love to see a twin 70mm though for sure. I’d pick the T-38

I'm still holding out for an O-2/Cessna 336 in the 1400-1500mm range. Lots of options for paint schemes so it would be a great candidate for a base gray or white, with decals optional.
I'm loving my T-33, so some other early cold war jets would be neat, perhaps an F-3D Skyknight.
I like the twin 70mm Canberra and 80 or 90mm T-38 suggestions also.

There are minor differences between the T-38 and the F-5, primarily in the cockpit configuration. The F-5 typically has a single-seat cockpit, while the T-38 is a dual-seater. The easiest way to spot the F-20 from either the T-38 or the F-5, is that the Tigershark has a single, larger engine exhaust nozzle, as opposed to the dual exhausts of the other two.

I would LOVE a really nice scale EPO T-38. I've converted a Freewing F-5 to a T-38 (see below). Flies real stable, with and without a gyro; but lands hot/heavy. Use 5200 and 6200/6250 6S with an FMS 80mm 2100 Platinum Pro V2 EDF/100amp Eflite ESC.
Got rid of that annoying yaw to the right with gear extension by cutting a NLG access opening and gluing the gear door shut. BTW, making that cockpit and fabricating the canopies was the worst part.
BUT the FW F-5 is a very dated platform and a dedicated remake to a scale T-38 would be fantastic.

Fella's PLEASE!
It's gotta be a P-51B/C and like the Corsair, you can get either a standard or Malcom hood.
One of the colors schemes will be Major James Howard CMH!
Alpha all but said it when he stated that if you wanted a sure fire selling airplane it's got to be either a Mustang or a Piper Cub, I'm betting a Mustang!!
may she rest in pieces

D's will always outsell B's or C's but the latter have their fanbase too. My vote is for a 1600mm+ D with all the bells and whistles. If not that, then please let it be either a 2000mm+ B-17 or B-25 or 1600mm+ BF-109.My YouTube RC videos:
