*by W***E on 3 November 2020*

This is an easy model to build. Academy has holes and pins that make it easy to put the parts in the exact place on the aircraft. I had to modify this model to resemble the T-37 trainer. I flew the trainer for half of pilot training in the 1960s. This little model T-37 is fun to put together. It includes the spin-struts that we had to have to make it spin. No photo yet, finishing up the details and make some decals to represent my training base location. Just wish it was a little bigger but fun to build.
