SPA Modeler

This is one of my favorites, I'm sure I built every version of the Monogram T-28 at least once, and always wished they had done the T-28C as well. I have an original issue T-28A kit but this one is from 1999 in the Monogram Classics range.

Neat kit! A favorite of mine then and now.

Fun looking kit. Even has cockpit side console detail!

Gotta love the parts count of those old kits. I did the Roden T-28B it had 149 parts

A little progress on the T-28. I would have gotten further along but I'm out of Dark Gull Grey, should be here in a day or two. Significant amounts of a toxic substance will be need to balance this model, fitted in to the cowling. A little bit of paint work on the landing gear. The wheels are preposterous but I will soldier on with them. Should I get a heated knife and put a mushroom on the axles as the instructions say, or shorten the axles and glue them?

I vaguely remember doing that, using one of Mom’s paring knives.

Do one with and one without!

Found a couple of MM Dark Dull Grey, I knew it was there somewhere, still have some Gunze on the way from SB. I painted the side panels gloss grey, 16440 I think. I made masks so I can do the aluminum without masking that area, though with Alclad ALC 101 paint lifting isn't usually an issue. I have also been puttering away on the prop and the figures, and those silly wheels.

That looks terrific!

Nice!!

The virtue of simplicity!
