theplasticsurgeon Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Joining with this T28 Trojan. This kit cost me £4 at IPMS Avon show in 2017. Holding until my Tornados are completed. Researching a colourful Trojan to build as I've built this one before. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Looks like the T-28 is going to be popular in this GB. Clearly an eligible entry, welcome to the GB. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Blimey these T-28s are like buses you wait ages for one then 2 come along at once ! Good luck Cheers Pat 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Well that's two T-28's already and I was even lucky enough to score one of these kits just yesterday, so its a good chance the number of Trojan builds will ultimately grow. That's a nice VNAF build there Tim, so looking forward to seeing how the next one turns out. Cheers and best of luck.. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyW Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Two builds declared already, looks like a popular choice. I'm more familiar with the old Monogram 1.48 kit. It will be nice to see Hellers take on it instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Glad to say the Heller hat’s an oversized sombrero, so there’s plenty of room for more T-28’s here Martin. Cheers.. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRunner Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I’m tempted but I’d love to do something thoroughly French. My Heller pile is a couple of T-28s, two T-6s, an Amiot 143 and the LeO 45 (my preferred choice) ..... Let me chew it over 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Don’t let Enzo read that!! We don’t have any Texans as yet, so perhaps that’s a little easier to chew? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRunner Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Hmmm .... it looks like I’m closing in on the LeO 453 data that I need :).... Fingers crossed! Martin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theplasticsurgeon Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 This will be a White Hi-Viz Trojan. I asked for decals from the latest version of kit, on the Wanted forum - and Wez our genial host has replied. Thank-you Wez. Now my son once asked what genial means. We were watching Porridge, and the genial Harry Grout had just been introduced.🤣 So there's a reputation to be lived upto. . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Tim, The hi-viz markings are for an overall yellow aircraft, not a white one. Let me know if you are still interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
