I've always kinda like the A/T-37 ,so your build will be interesting.If I ever get around to build that kit,I'd like to build it as a trainer.
Of what I understand of the kit so far, it could be done pretty easily (I would think). Perhaps some after market things like decals and such.

The dragonfly is such a cool looking plane. I'm looking forward to following your build.
I've always like the little planes like this and others like the T-4(? JSDAF). Small-Fast-Nimble unlike myself Big-Not so fast-Sort of nimble
I'm pretty much planning on doing it out of the box. Detail wise, for being the typical Revellogram kit, the raised detail is quite good. It took me a while to realize that it was indeed raised. There’s a lot going on all over this plane. Hopefully most of the detail will survive construction.
It felt good to actually ‘build’ again, not build-paint a few drops, build 1 small piece, paint a few drops again, future, wait a few hours, and so on. I think I’m going to do an AFV for my next build, that way I can spend some good time assembling and not so much stop and go. :0
I didn’t get a whole lot done on Saturday, seats mostly and the front wheel well. Again this plane is a tail-sitter. It also comes with the Revellogram clear post to make it sit up right. Well, that just won’t do. The inner wheel bay for the front wheel is designed so that I can make a hole to insert nose weights and not ever be seen.
I did get manage to do a test fitting of the major parts, not too bad. The cockpit tub is a little wonky on one side, but shouldn’t be a problem to fix. However the fuselage seams are going to be some work, I see plenty of filler going on in my future.
Thanks for checking it out, glad to have you guys following along. Perhaps next time someone will bring some milk and cookies
Cheers!
