Model Airplane Factory offers handmade USAF T28 Trojan North American Wood Model Airplane, artistically created from the finest grade of kiln-dried Mahogany wood. After carving the wood, the T-28 Trojan USAF mahogany display model will undergo stages of fine sanding, between primer coats, to produce a silky smooth finish ready for final painting. The T28 trojan model airplane will be painted according to the specific color scheme of the North American T28 Trojan aircraft for their historical significance and authenticity.


In the COIN role, T-28s saw extensive service during the Vietnam War in VNAF hands, as well as the Secret War in Laos. They were also supplied to Congo by the CIA to support Moise Tshombe's regime. France used locally remanufactured T-28s in close-support and patrol roles in Algeria. In the Philippines, T-28s, known locally as "Tora-toras", figured prominently in a series of coup de etats in the 1980s and were employed as dive bombers by rebel military forces. The T-28 Trojan was the first US attack fixed wing aircraft (non-transport type) lost in SOUTH Vietnam, during the Vietnam War. Capt. Robert L. Simpson, USAF, Detachment 2A, lst Air Commando Group, and Lt. Hoa, SVNAF, were shot down by ground fire on 28 August 1962 while flying Close Air Support (CAS). Neither crewman survived. The USAF lost 23 T-28's to all causes during the war, with the last two losses occurring in 1968.
