Update. I think Minicraft overshot on the weight needed, by maybe .2 ounces. I'll do a proper weight and balance when it's done.

Paint coming! What scheme are you doing?

All BMF, kit decals for the version that flew at Craig AFB, that will match the markings on my T-28A.

Some handles and canopy latches installed and a gloss blue undercoat applied.

What is the story with blue if you're doing a NMF? Curious

John, my theory is that much of what we see when looking at reflective surfaces is the sky, which is blue on good days. I have done many of my nmf models this way. The other shoe to drop is that I have a lot of Olds Engine Blue that I have little other use for. By the way, I will be using some of those T-34 decals you sent me on this model.
