    I'm designing a 3d printed T-2A for a 90. Might have it ready before the end of the year assuming no hiccups.
    Really, wow. that is awesome and no, I don't have a 3D printer as of yet, maybe one day I will pick one up, let me see pics when your done with yours.

        Alpha and Freewing have been knocking it out of the park!

        I know they could do an incredible twin 70mm Canberra too!

        I think both canopy types as an option would really increase sales!

        It is a very clean airplane and would easily be Freewings fastest twin 70mm!

            LOVE the two seater! I vote for this as well. I even bought a plastic kit as reference.

            I used to instruct on NAS Whidbey when the prowler was there!

                  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 .................................................. ....

                    Bigger would be better as far as the T-38 goes there are several scratch builds out there that fly extremely well.

                      It’s a fantastic flying little jet! The red and white scheme just pops, I love it. It can really move on the new FW 80mm IR and a Roaring Top 70c 4400 too!

                      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.

                            I remember an episode of :"The Six Million Dollar Man" where Steve Austin used the Thunderbirds as a cover to help smuggle out a prince (I think) after his father had an "accident" and the head of the military took over the country. The smuggled the kid out in a specially modified T-38 nose.

                              I absolutely love my F-5, I've got 2. To me it's been a stable flyer and a very predictable landing bird.

                                  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.

                                      It's gotta be a P-51B/C and like the Corsair, you can get either a standard or Malcom hood.

                                      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!!

                                        I'm betting its a P-51, likely a D, maybe a B variant.

                                          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.
