russ c Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Hi all here`s my Roden 1/48 scale T-28 Trojan, completed to represent an aircraft of the 606th Special Operations Squadron based at Nakhon Phanom, Thailand, around the late 1960`s. I actually built this last year some time but have just finished repainting it as I felt that my previous attempt was not `right` The kit actually started out as a `B` version, but is updated with modified Skyraider pylons, weapons from the `stash` Numerous scratch built antenna and Decals from Rodens latest boxing of the kit Spent a long time researching the colour scheme, which was not std SEA USAF camouflage colours on these aircraft Hope you enjoy looking at. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin77 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Another awesome build Russ. How come your aircraft always look so menacing, a harm less little trainer, made into a Brutel killing machine. Absolutely loving this and your last couple of builds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russ c Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Like the camo scheme, not seen this one before..... nice job... Dave Cheers Dave, I did a lot of Googling and some kind people off another forum pointed me in the direction of this scheme, as I always thought they were standard SEA colours but with the tan overpainted with grey, it wasn`t until I picked a book up with a colour photo ( 56th Fighter Group by Larry Davis ) that I found out how different they were.

Mach82 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Another stunning 'couvert warrior'. An interesting and unusual camo-scheme completes it. Awesome build Russ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Hello, that's something different! I've never seen this one before and doesn't it look strangely mean sans insignia? You've done a lovely build and finish on the thing too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCinLA Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Having interviewed several of the Zorro pilots for an upcoming article in the next "Flight Journal" (shameless personal commercial plug), they all told me the camouflage was the same colors as applied to SAC B-52s. I thought I had mentioned that to you. Here's an article I did which has the colors as they were explained to me. With Roden having released the T-28D now, this might be helpful. http://modelingmadness.com/review/viet/tc/tmc28d.htm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Roden having released the T-28D now, this might be helpful. http://modelingmadness.com/review/viet/tc/tmc28d.htm Hi Tom, you did mention it, but, the colour photo in 56th Fighter Group by Larry Davis does not have a bit of brown or tan in it and the colours which I matched mostly by eyeball corresponed to some SAC colours on the paint section on Cyber modeller. BUT there were ones with brown/tan in the camoflage at NKP and Udorn and I`ve found pics on Google that show this. However... the black and white photo`s of 606th SOS show the areas that would be tan ( the lightest colour) as the darkest colour as does the photo in 56th FG, which shows it as very dark grey. Cheers for looking and commenting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
