Trumpeter 02889 1/48 A-37B Dragonfly Ground Attack Model Kit  [TP02889]

Trumpeter 1/48 US A-37B Dragonfly Model Overview

The A-37B Dragonfly was developed as an upgraded, tougher variant of the earlier A-37 Super Tweet, resolving operational weaknesses found in that platform. This B version is heavier and more powerful, built to handle greater loads and longer sorties. Its real-world payload capacity reaches about 2.67 tons while fuel capacity is listed at 1,920 liters, supporting extended mission profiles.

Design Changes and Authentic Detail

Key external changes include the pitot tube moved to the vertical tail leading edge and the addition of a fuselage refuelling probe on many airframes. Some export examples had a shortened or removed probe, which the model reflects in option configurations.

Modelers will find the Trumpeter 1/48 kit captures these elements with care. The set contains more than 170 parts and features finely engraved panel lines that mirror the aircraft's surfaces, making it a solid pick for those building display models or historical collections.
