This next sheet from Caracal Models is for the T-38A Talon in 1/48 scale. The sheet is designed for the Wolfpack kit but there is no reason why these markings should not also work on the C.A. or Sword kits. There are markings for ten aircraft, all of them in the more recent colors of black or greys. Below is a listing of all the markings options provided on this sheet.

T-38A, 1st FW, Langley AFB, 2012
T-38A, 49th FW, Holloman AFB, 2011 (F-22 companion trainer)
T-38A, 49th FW, Holloman AFB, 2005 (F-117 companion trainer)
T-38A, 586th Flight Test Squadron "Roadrunners", Holloman AFB, 2005
T-38A, 90th FTS "Boxin Bears", Sheppard AFB, 2006
T-38A, 25th FTS "Shooters", Vance AFB, 2005
T-38A, 49th FTS "Black Knights", Moody AFB, 2003
T-38A, 560th FTS , Randolph AFB, 2001
T-38A, 50th FTS "Strikin' Snakes", Columbus AFB, 2003
T-38A, 87th FTS "Red Bulls", Laughlin AFB, 2005

There are enough insignia for one aircraft and data markings for two. You should be able to glean additional insignia from the kit markings to do more. The decals themselves are superbly printed by Cartograf and the full color instruction booklet provides all the information you need to complete your kit. In all an excellent sheet for the T-38.
