Fokker F-28 COD/Tanker

[Captain Canada]

Looking good. I love this style of aeroplane.



Hard to tell in that pic if the bottom is darker or just shadow....

Harro, I would go with White OVER light gull grey, have a look at the C-9 Nightingale, or C-2 Greyhound as reference... I'm guessing you're looking to place the F-28 in that 'bracket'

The US Navy DC9s were white over grey, so perhaps it's to indicate a transport role?



[Later] Hah, Ian had the same idea 

[Hobbes]

Excellent: I hadn't thought of the C-9. That's settled it, I've painted the fuselage white today. If all goes well, I'll have another Fokker 100 kit coming in tomorrow that I can steal the engines from.

I doubt I'll be able to finish this in time for Telford, but I'm going to try and get it painted and the engines and undercarriage attached at least.

[PR19_Kit]

Bring it along anyway Harro, if you can. I'm sure we'd all like to see progress 'in the plastic'.

I agree - always good for everyone to see a 'WiP'

I've just finished airbrushing the underside, 1h30 for that plus some missiles in another color, which is pretty fast by my standards. Paint job isn't the best though, but I was more or less counting on redoing the paintwork after Telford anyway.

[Hobbes]

Not much going on that's worth showing, mostly PSR on the engines. This is the color scheme (needs repainting, but I'll use these colors):



I'm also building this to show alongside for comparison:



That's the OzMods 1:144 C-2 conversion kit.

Looking good ! I just love that style of aeroplane.....

The Greyhound looks tiny ! Assuming that's a standard issue laundry pin ( peg ) ! Gonna be neat to see them side by side.

[Mossie]

Glad you're carrying on with it, it'll look good against the Greyhound.

[Hobbes]

Painted another coat of gray:

[Gondor]
