    Converting the Monogram T-28B [or D] to a T-28C?  Has anyone ever done
this conversion?  Obviously the underside of the rear fuselage has to be
cut down and modified along with the rudder but are there any other big
pitfalls?

    I think the tail hook and smaller diameter prop with the wider blades
can be figured out but other than that is there something I'm missing?

    Thanks.  cheers - Jim.

Didn't Airmodel do a conversion kit for this back in the day? I seem
to recall one, would have been a vacuum-formed fuselage and ~maybe~ a
new canopy. Theie conversions were mostly pretty nice, but they have
to be scare by now.

*******    Hey!  Now that would be neat.  I'll start the search but as you
say it may take quite a bit of digging.  Thanks for the lead.

    Cheers - Jim.

It was a complete 1/72, not 1/48 kit.

*******    Roger-D.  Thanks Frank.  So far I've been unable to track one
down.  I guess I'd even settle for a copy of the instructions.  Thanks
again for the info.

        Cheers  Jim.
