1/48 Roden T-28B Trojan COMPLETE

Yes, I completely agree with you.  Wait a week and let dry while you step back and think about correcting the issue.  Still, everything looks good to me sir!

Your Friend, Toshi

I would guess that the reducer or thinner in the rarttle can was not compatable with the other paint. In addition it is best to not mix brands, or at least let the thinner in the fresh paint be allowed to "flash" off before applying another brand over it. The clear floor coating could also be used as a "barrier" to prevent a chemical reaction between the two brands. Just some thoughts. 

After you take care of the wrinkles,and repair, after you mask and burnish down the tape, shoot a coat of clear over the edge of the tape to seal....should keep the bleed through on the edge to a minimum. 

Looks good otherwise, hope you planted nose weight in it.

There's a bunch of sinkers glued behind the engine.  She's heavy!

Oh no, that stinks!  What do you suspect caused that? 

Laquer over enamel I suppose.

•  I’m glad you were able to fix that issue. l really like that paint scheme .. 

Looks great. I like the T-28, especially in the Navy training schemes, e.g. chrome yellow and the insignia white and international orange as in your build. As a general note you can apply enamel over laquer, but not lacquer over enamel. I have used clear lacquer over Testers Model Master enamel but it was applied in very light coats and allowed to dry between coats. This generally gives you a rough surface but it can be cut and buffed (1200, 2000, 2500 sand paper wet sanded then polished with compound) . This is generally done for cars, but I have done this with a matt clear for aircraft. Testers clear lacques are not as harsh and work well for this.

The T-28 is a great old bird and has been in service as long as the B-52s.

Cleaned up the anti-glare panel a bit.  Fiddley bits around the landing gear are a bit busy.  I may need to touch up a bit here and there but making progress.  BTW - I hate white airplanes :/

That looks fantastic!  Add a little amount of black to just barely tint the white paint.  It helps.

Your Friend, Toshi

Interesting idea Toshi

Did some decal work tonight.  Coming along

Looking really good !!

Thanks crown.  It's been an interesting build.  Trying to keep my sticky fingers off the gloss white paint has been a challenge.  LOL

oh yes, you have let that glossy finish dry. you must resist......

Waiting for the prop to dry.  White tips in front, yellow on the back - probably the worst case scenario over black.  Anyhow... I'll finish this one up tomorrow

Really really nice! Super paint job even with the issues

Not a show winner, but really like the overall look.  Anyway - this one goes on the shelf.

well done !  

Very nice!

Very nice!

Nice saves on the paint work.  I like her, well done.

Thanks for the kind words all.  Quite the color pop on my shelf!

She's a big bird compared to the new Texan

looks super. As another suggestion: on a gloss white aircraft, or in areas painted gloss white such as the landing gear wells or air brake well on, say a Blue Angles aircraft, use flat white very, very, lightly tinted with black or grey as a wash. This brings out the details, or panel line, but doesn't make the area look "dirty".  

I have done a couple of the Monogram T-28 kits, but having seen your model I need to get one each of those B and C models of the T-28.

Thanks for the tip rangerj.  I haven't been happy with the oil wash I've been doing.  Always looks like serious hydraulic issues lol.  It's a pretty nice kit.
