This is the T-38C Talon "FAIP scheme" 65-10331 87th FTS Laughlin AFB 2021 in 1:72 scale by Hobby Master.
The T-38C Talon “65‑10331”, proudly emblazoned in the FAIP (First Assignment Instructor Pilot) scheme by the 87th Flying Training Squadron at Laughlin AFB in 2021, breaks the mold for supersonic trainers. Instead of a standard gray coat, this Talon shines in high-contrast white and black art with red accents—celebrating instructor pilots who transitioned straight from flight training to instructing peers. Its bold paint not only enhances visibility during training but also symbolizes the skill and responsibility of FAIP instructors. As a fully capable supersonic jet, it retains cutting-edge avionics and performance, making it a supersonic showpiece and a lasting visual emblem of advanced pilot training excellence.

Collectors often praise their models for realistic panel lines, pad‑printed placards, functional features like removable canopies and landing gear, and authentic detachable ordnance—all hallmarks of their popular Air Power Series. Hobbyists consider Hobby Master “top‑notch,” ideal for collectors seeking museum‑grade realism and durable craftsmanship
