T-28B/C Cockpit Set
Squadron has released a new cockpit set for the Roden T-28B/C. Molded in bubble- and blemish-free medium grey resin, the detail included is far superior to what can be offered in plastic. The instrument panels have some impressive detail, especially the rear cockpit which includes the coaming and the wiring in the rear of the panel.
This set contains parts for the cockpit tub, two seats, rear bulkhead, side panels, instrument panels (both front and back), rudder pedals, sticks, and throttles. I don’t think there is anything left to add to the inside. I don’t know for sure, but I’ll bet that Jeff Verswyvel was heavily involved in the development. Jeff was the proprietor and master maker for Avionix and Black Box. This is up to the typical work I expect from this master modeler.
If there is a downside to this set, it has to be that the packaging can’t be closed up after the parts are inspected.
The parts are attached to the sprues by small pour blocks, so there should be no problem about removing them.
This set is simply gorgeous and simple to use. It is about time we got a modern version of the T-28 and this set will do nothing but enhance it.
Highly recommended
Thanks to Squadron and IPMS/USA for the review copy.

Floyd S. Werner Jr.
Building models since the age of 7, I’ve become known for my Bf-109s and helicopters. I currently run Werner’s Wings. I was previously the ‘star’ of the Master Class Model Building Video series. I’ve been published numerous times on various website, including Hyperscale and ARC. My work has been in FSM and Great Scale Modeling 2001, as well as, numerous other model magazines. I’m a published author with my Squadron/Signal Walkaround book on the Kiowa Warrior. My models have continuously won many regional and national awards. My unique model photography gives my models instant recognition for their historical perspective.
I’m a retired from the Army after 21 years of flying Cobras and Kiowa Warriors, including tours in Iraq, Bosnia, Korea, and Germany. I’m also a retired Flight Officer for the Baltimore City Police and flew their helicopters chasing bad guys. I’m currently flying Cobras and Hueys with the Army Aviation Heritage Foundation.
I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart, Yvonne, for 42 years. Our daughters have blessed us with six grandchildren. My passions continue to be his family, friends, helicopters, models and airplanes, especially the Bf-109 and my beloved AH-1 Cobra. My motto has always been - MODELING IS FUN!
