Trumpeter 1/48 A-37B Dragonfly Detailed Introduction

The A-37B Dragonfly was developed as an improved version of the A-37 Super Tweet, offering greater robustness and power to meet operational needs. This upgrade allowed the type to carry approximately 2.67 tons of payload and hold about 1,920 litres of fuel for extended tasking.

Technical Changes and Authenticity

Notable alterations include moving the pitot tube to the leading edge of the vertical tail and fitting a refuelling probe on the fuselage in many marks. Export machines often had the probe shortened or removed, which is reflected in variant options.

For modellers, the Trumpeter 1/48 kit replicates these traits with precision. Containing over 170 parts and crisp engraved panel lines, the kit provides a strong foundation for historically accurate finishes and museum-style displays.

Yes. The main airframe provides good space and alignment for fitting resin seats or additional photo etch if you want to boost cockpit realism.
Fine pre-shading, subtle panel wash and selective chipping deliver a natural military look. An airbrush gives the smoothest base coat for this scale.
