Hobby Master AT-38B Talon 1/72 NASA LIFT Trainer 63-8172 479th TTW

1/72 Scale NASA AT-38B Talon Diecast Model

This new 1/72 scale diecast model reproduces the Northrop AT-38B Talon aircraft number 63-8172 operated by the 479th TTW as a NASA LIFT Trainer during the 1980s. It features diecast metal and plastic construction with a detailed exterior, realistic panel lines, antennas, and access panels. The model includes an opening canopy, a pilot figure, and a display stand. It arrives in the manufacturer's original unopened packaging.

Collectors of US Air Force and NASA Cold War Jets

The model suits collectors and hobby enthusiasts focused on 1/72 scale military aircraft, specifically the US Air Force Air Power Series and NASA trainer variants. Buyers who need a larger scale, a different Talon variant, or a model without an opening canopy should look at something else. The included pilot figure and stand support immediate shelf display.

1/72 Scale with Opening Canopy and Pilot Figure

The defining specification is the 1/72 scale combined with an opening canopy and included pilot figure, which determines fit within an existing 1/72 collection and the level of cockpit visibility. The model measures approximately 7.75 inches in length and 4.25 inches in wingspan. This specific configuration matches the NASA LIFT Trainer 63-8172 of the 479th TTW.
