T-28 from Argentine Navy, 1/48
Greetings to all forum members.
On this occasion I wanted to show you a kit that I recently finished. It is Roden's T-28 Trojan in 1/48th scale.
It is an adequately detailed kit, although some things could be improved, such as the riveting of the surface of the plane. The fit of the parts, in general, is good.
Be careful with the front piece of the landing gear, which is weak, and could break with any sudden movement. To make matters worse, counterweight must be placed at the front of the aircraft to prevent it from falling backwards.
Another negative element of the kit is the decals. All the ones I tried to use, ended up breaking in several pieces. Luckily I was going to use very few of them, as I decided to make a different version to the ones included in the box.
The kit represents a T-28 of the Argentine Navy, with the colour scheme used in the mid-1970s. For the decals I used those from Calcas del Sur, a local brand, which offers decals for several versions of the Argentine Air Force and the Argentine Navy. They also bring to make a version of the Uruguayan Navy.
The painting is made with Vallejos acrylics.
I hope you like it, and any criticism is welcome.
Greetings to all forum members.
You got a great result despite all the problems!
Nice work there!
Amazing result, Juan! Thanks for the kit/build info!
Very nicely done, Juan.
Excellent work, Juan @juanravi73
Having built two Roden T-28s, I know how difficult that "difficult kit" is. So your perseverance in doing the work to create this gem is even more remarkable. I really like this a lot.
You’ve made a very attractive looking model out of this kit, Juan.
This is excellent work Juan.
This is absolutely pristine!
Fine looking T-28, Juan...well done!
That is a great looking model, with a lovely finish.
Great looking Trojan, Juan!
A well done Trojan in an uncommon scheme. I like it.
Some strong work that is easy on the eyes Juan. A lot of time and effort went into this build and it shows to perfection.
Two thumbs up.
Smashed the like button.
Great looking build. Very attractive color scheme.
Lovely work. Beautiful subtlety.
Looking good. Nice work!
That's a great looking build, Juan!
Beautiful!

Great job!
A very sharp and beautifully painted model. I don’t believe I had ever seen an Argentinian Trojan before but I like it!
Love it! I have a project going to build aircraft of S. America, post-WWII, so I'll try to snag some decals from that outfit - I found their FB page!
