About product

Cessna A-37A Dragonfly 1:48 (Trumpeter)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the American light attack and counter-insurgency aircraft Cessna A-37A Dragonfly in 1:48 scale from Trumpeter. It is a new tooling with fine surface detail. Besides the plastic parts the box also holds a photo-etched fret, rubber tires, a metal machine gun barrel and rich external stores, so you have a solid basis for a detailed build straight out of the box.

The real subject

The A-37 Dragonfly came about by converting the Cessna T-37 trainer, and so it earned the nickname Super Tweet. For use in Vietnam it received a more powerful pair of J85 jet engines, strengthened landing gear, auxiliary tanks on the wingtips and a number of pylons under the wings for bombs and rockets. In the nose it carried a 7.62 mm rotary machine gun. It was an agile and cheap machine suited to the close support of ground units and to counter-insurgency fighting.

Building and painting tips

Use liquid cement for plastic and work in subassemblies. Finish and paint the cockpit before closing the fuselage; glue the photo-etched parts and the metal barrel with cyanoacrylate glue. Apply a primer and put the paints on with an airbrush. Fine-tune the external stores and the tanks only after the airframe has been painted. With Southeast Asian camouflage schemes you will appreciate discreet weathering of dust and wear.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of American aircraft of the Vietnam War in 1:48 scale
  • Fans of light attack and counter-insurgency machines
  • Modelers who will appreciate a new tooling with photo-etch and external stores in the box

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
