Model Forum / General / Models / November 2006T-28D Question
I've been looking at the CollectAir 1/32 scale T-28B kit and am wondering how much work would be required to convert it to a Special Ops TAT-28D. I know about the need to add pylons and gun packs and probably removal of the tailhook. I also seem to remember something different about the canopy but am not sure anymore. Can I make an AT-28D from the CollectAir T-28B without too much trouble?

Look for the latest issue of the kit in the olde-fashioned blue box that came out a couple or 3 years ago.

Much thanks - saved that page, definitely a keeper. WmB I don't know that it was ever officially known as AT-28D, much less a TAT-28D(?), but probably the simple answer is paint it in either SEA camo or the lt. gray & white scheme & hang some weapons under the wings & you have a T-28D. Also, IIRC, the B didn't use a hook, but the C did & it had a "notched" lower tail to accomodate it. I don't know if Cs were converted to Ds as such, but I have seen pics of Cs in the gray & white scheme with, IIRC, S. Vietnam markings. > > I've been looking at the CollectAir 1/32 scale T-28B kit and am wondering > > how much work would be required to convert it to a Special Ops TAT-28D.

You may need to scroll down some to find the T-28 bits. I've never used any of his parts, but I'm tempted to order some and try them. http://www.lonestarmodels.com/lsmconversions48.html Again, hth, Thanks Frank. The canopy was one of the areas I really didn't want to mess with if I didn't have to.
