Here is my Trojan from Heller

with Pavla resin cockpit.

I added the armor headrest by shaping a piece of plastic

I removed the airscoop on the top of the front fuselage and will level it with a piece of plastic.

thanks for looking.

PS. When I saw the Modern Aircraft group build on the forums and saw that it was only for jets and turboprops, my 1st though was “But what if someone wanted to build a Trojan?” [:O]

while waiting for the wing to set, I scratched build the heavy machine gun pod from rocket pods of A-37 and g20 needles.

many thanks for you kind word gents.

Hi,

I may have missed it where you said what air force those markings are for. Are they Phillipine? Its always cool to see builds in different and/or non-common/less familiar markings or paint schemes [:)]

Looks like you have spent some time on research. Progress looks good.

Hi Pawell, most of the T-28 of the Philippine Airforce was acquired from Vietnam after the war so technically it is a Vietnam bird with a different roundel.

Thaks for kind reply gents.
