Not my cup of tea, but looks outstanding.

Hi again

Fresh in tonight from Glen is a look at the colour schemes for the kit:



All the best

That red and yellow USAF scheme is from an -A model Trojan, so I hope they're doing the smaller engine, 2 blade prop and balloon nose wheel tire.



Or perhaps it's this warbird scheme applied to a T-28D.

Hi Jessie

The scheme featured on the boxtop has got a civil registration tucked away, so I wouldn't be surprised if this is a warbird too. Hopefully the other schemes are kosher, or maybe this is a case of their Harvard/Texan revisited? It's such a great subject, though, there should be plenty of aftermarket decals released.

All the best

I'm still hoping for a decent -A Trojan. The old Monogram pig really needs replacing.

I'm with Bill as to this offering not exactly being my modeling cup of tea. After reading Jessica's comments, lets just hope that they get the markings correct without having to buy AM decals.

Well, they're exactly correct in so far as they are actual markings applied to an actual aircraft. It's just that it's a privately owned civillian aircraft rather than an operational military one. As far as I can see the remainder of the marking choices are correct and nicely varied.

I'm actually quite interested in this release.
Anymore pictures of the red/yellow and SEA aircrafts? It looks like they carry nose-art?!?
