RLAF T-28 done

[JohnB]

Got this one done with Hubert's help! He mailed me the needed gun pod pieces that I had somehow misplaced. This is my 2nd RLAF T-28 and possibly not my last! I used a Aires cockpit set to replace the sparse kit item. The seats are from my stash with the armored back plates are cut from sheet styrene. Painted with Colourcoats and Testor's. Decals are from AOA. I hope you like it!

WOW! Your T-28 looks brilliant and what you had to go to correct the kits por molding and warps, it's just so hard to believe we are looking at the kit .... amazing work. 🏆

LOL Peter. It sure DID have it's moments. Glad to have it finished thanks. Goes well with my other RLAF bird.

When I first saw the photographs of the warped and twisted fuselage halves, I just never thought the kit could be saved - so glad I was wrong. One masterful build.

I didn't think so either Peter and I just didn't want to fool with it. I'm glad I changed my mind.

Thanks Scott! The issue was in doubt at one point! LOL I too am glad I got it finished. I'm glad you like it.

I've built multiples of these kits, and they always went together well for me.  I'm sad to hear yours had "it's moments", but the end result sure is with it!

Yes indeed it did have it's moments. Never had one that was so warped but I'm glad I was able to correct it and go on and complete the model. I'm glad you like it Ernie.

Thanks! The Corsairs far out number the T-28's. About 20 or so Corsairs and 4 T-28's.
