OK, I’ve come the fountain of knowledge. Where can I get a kit for a T-28, Trojan in 1/48th scale?[8]
Monogram has a T28A in Air Farce markings in release right now. Check your local or some of the mail order. It is a very old kit.
That’s 'Air FORCE to you! I’m retired so show some respect. Now that that’s over, thanks for the info, even though I suspect it comes from a GROUND POUNDER, SWABBIE OR JAR HEAD. (SMILE, YOU’RE ON CANDID CAMERA), WE’RE ALL VETS IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
Couldn’t resist. I’m MARINE air
It figures; but like I said, all vets. All the time!
I tip my hat and I’ll drink a beer to all of us tonight. If you can’t get a kit, put up a post and we’ll talk about mine. I’ve opened the box and dry fitted a couple of parts. I would rather do a D model, but they haven’t released it again. The A I have is a rerelease.
I was stationed at NKP (Nakhon Phanom) northeast Thailand. We had a lot of strange aircraft that flew out of there. Anything from C-123j’, A-26K’s, T-28’s, etc. Most of the T-28’s were painted either pale grey or black and flew with the ‘Ravens’. I got to ride in one and kicked flares from C-123’s and did ‘Litter Bug’ and Loud Mouth" in O2A’s. My squadron flew A-1E/H’s on SAR & intradictions missions in Laos.
I worked on KC130’s. I did a year on Okinawa with a TDY at Da Nang. I worked on the Italeri 1/48 Fat Albert when it was in squadron service before it went to the Angels. I have a kit in my model room, but I haven’t had the courage to crack the box yet. That will be the one to detail. Have a good night.
Good night? Where are you that it’s ‘nght’ when its 1400L in CA?
didfal,
Point of order; the re-issue Monogram Air Force T-29A kit is actually a T-28B/D kit with a two bladed prop and a small opening in the cowling… notice, I said Small Opening, not small cowling, as is characteristic to the “A” Model.

Thanks for the info and I’m on it. I just looked on E-Bay yesterday but must have missed it. I knew I could count on the memebers to come up with something I could use. Thanks to all, again.

I’m in Ohio, but on the company computer. That was the end of my shift.
Good work is hard to find and good for you.
