I have the Kitty Hawk T-28C kit and AOA decals which includes 2 T-28C's. One is a fairly early T-28C in VNAF colours for which, as far as I was able to find, the kit wheels or the Navy style wheels by RESKit are good. There is also a Laotian T-28C that was converted like a T-28D-5 with land-based wheels and extractor seats. I can't find a picture of this exact machine, but have found others like it (D-5s that is). I noticed these have bigger tyres, and I'm wondering which of these wheel sets are good match for those. The Kitty Hawk kit seems to come only with a "fat" nose wheel and tyre. https://www.dersockelshop.de/search?p=1&q=T-28&o=9&n=20&f=6|364 Anyone more knowledgeable in T-28s know what set I might need for a T-28C that's been updated like a T-28D-5? And are the aftermarket extractor seats or do I need to find and modify these from a Skyraider? Thanks! Jeroen

Gents- After my wife decided I needed to get back in to building (or dorking as she likes to call it), we went to Hobby Town. After picking up the Kitty Hawk T-28C, she insisted I buy it. I have been out of the hobby for more than a year. We downsized apartments and I got rid of most of my supplies. Our apartment does have computer nook, which she has allowed me to set up a new "workshop". However, I can't airbrush, so most things will be hand painted. I decided to do this as a restored Warbird T-28, so I'm not striving for 100% authenticity, this works cause the decals are for Warbirds. Just a few pics to get started. Here is the cockpit mostly assembled. I did use the decals for the instrument panels. They look great, but I wish they would have left them with a clear background, allowing us to match the grey a lot closer. The seat belts are the kit parts but I used bandage tape for the fabric. It works pretty well. Sorry for the quality of the pics, they are taken with my phone. You'll notice that the front seat has no belts, I am planning on placing a pilot in there.
