CD32019 - T-28B/D Trojan


Recommended Posts

A 1/32 T-28 Trojan sheet has been in the works for a while, and it is time to assign a product number now that the kit is imminent. It should be available soon after the general availability of the kit, since I need to check the fit of some tail markings against the actual plastic.

Well, this scheme isn't in the box anymore:

Yet, I do have it in 1/48th scale for the Roden kit. Hopefully, I will see these schemes in an aftermarket sheet:

Thanks for the suggestions, folks - much appreciated. One Laotian T-28 and the sharkmouth T-28C have already been drawn; as well as several other USAF/Navy/Marines options. I will share some profiles later this week, after I ship the preorders for this month's releases.

From what I have read, no sharkmouth markings in the initial boxing because those markings were on a T-28C and the first issue is a T-28B/D. I am hoping for those markings too as it sure makes the scheme :thumbsup:

I really have to go do some research on the differences between the T-28B and the T-28C. I think it has to do with the size of the tail and the cowl?

Have not bought a 1/32nd kit in awhile. My last one was the Academy F-18A. The Trojan should be ok since it is not a big aircraft to begin with.

Hi Kursad,

Any updates or profiles ready for this one?

Thanks,

I will post some profiles later week after I clear the shipping backlog for this month's releases. Most of the options are various trainer schemes, with a few Vietnam War-era options thrown in. There is such a variety of schemes for the T-28 that a second sheet may be a possibility.

Sorry about not being able to share much about this project yet - there are still a few preorders that I need to ship. As soon as I am done, I am returning to finishing profiles with a vengeance.

It would be nice to see an all Yellow airplane with green bands of ATU-801, NAS Kingsville 1954. I am going to be building one because my father flew them in that squadron. The original Navy T-28Bs were delivered from the factory with the yellow paint scheme. My father said at the time the airplanes had a "new car" smell to them because they were so freshly delivered from the factory.

Can someone cough up the name of the company that used T-28s for fighter sim? You and a friend would fly against each other in T-28s outfitted with low-power lasers covered with light sensors. Based near Conroe, Tx IIRC. I believe they folded because of a couple of catastrophic airframe failures.

Never mind, they were T-34s. Back to your regularly scheduled Caracal programming.

Not to keep bugging but is this sheet still planned for release?

Please be patient, it is on the way.

Hi Kursad,

 

Just wanted to check the status of this sheet.  Will it be released with your first new batch of 2017?

 

I am looking forward to this one as I just picked up the kit :)
