M-346 in USAF markings as T-38 replacement.  Perhaps a hooked one to supplement the T-45s?

I have the AModel version with the large winglets. Thinking of the Canadian Coast Guard.

Similar to this CS2F:

I'm waiting for a well tooled 1:48 one of these.   As to which service I'd put it in....well ....

There was an article mentioning that ROC/Taiwan is planning to licence-produce M346 as AT-5 and a replacement for the AT-3 trainer.

So I got the Kinetic M346 and it looks to be very nice. However the upper fuselage/wings part has badly warped wings. One curls up and the other down. And the wings are also twisted. Kinetic replaced the part but it had warped wings again. And again.  I got another kit and it had the same issue. So I took the worst of the bunch and cut the wings off at the fuselage root and the remaining upper fuselage component seems ok and fits the lower fuselage well.
So, anyone got any ideas for a new wing form?

I've heard the Freece Tricolori are supposed to convert over to it in the next few years. I look forward to seeing it in their colours.

'Forgot this topic, but as of 2017 the AT-5 will be a design based on the F-CK-1.  So ROCAF M346 is now officially a what-if.

Good pick up.  That would look cool especially if done in something like this scheme as shown on the AT-5:
