russ c Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Hi Everyone, Hope you don`t mind seeing another T-28 fresh from the Kitchen table ( I`ve got a thing about Vietnam era T-28`s ) Roden`s 1/48 kit ( actually from the `B` boxing but done to represent a `D` ) Finished to represent an aircraft of the Khmer ( Cambodian ) Air Force towards the end of the South East Asia Conflicts They were supplied to the Khmers under a programme called Project Flycatcher but I`m not entirely sure if this was one of those. Built mostly from the kit but with some weapons pylons made from some from the spares box and some plastic sheet Napalm tanks are modified Trumpy Dragonfly items and a couple of antenna from the stash with wire whip aerial Decals came from AOA`s`Trainers No More` sheet Had a bit of a headache with this one as both fuselage halves were short shot around the nose bear bay but the extra filler helps keep the nose down. Hope you enjoy the pic`s, thanks for looking Cheers Russ 39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russ c Posted October 26, 2019 Author Share Posted October 26, 2019 22 minutes ago, ForestFan said: Excellent job. Any fit issues as I’ve got this to build. Thanks Thanks FF : it`s a top end limited edition type moulding so everything needs a little bit of work. There`s some gaps at the wing roots I always end up filling. The hardest bit I found is getting the control columns off the sprues in one peice and I always reinforce the nose undercarriage leg with some foil and superglue as it`s very fragile. Ejector pin stubs are quite large in places and the decals are brittle, impervious to setting solutions and require lots of heat to bed them down if you do try to use them. Hope this helps, cheers Russ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinnie Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I don't really get interested in anything post WW2 but your models are superb, (and they have propellers so it's ok.) Nicely done Russ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keefr22 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 That's another stunner Russ, cracking job! I recently acquired a B boxing off a friend complete with Xtradecal sheet and planned on doing the drone controller BD option - but your lovely model has me re-thinking now!
