Here is the 1/32 T-28B by Kitty Hawk. I wanted a used look for the yellow paint scheme and it was done with Bragton powders as well as powders from Tamiya.

I added the brass landing gear from G-factor and seat belts from RB products. I created the custom decals on a laser printer and combined them with the kit decals. Over all the kit was an enjoyable build and it will prepare me for the T-28C when they release it. The biggest problem was trying to get extra weight far enough forward so that it does not become a tail sitter. 

I forgot to add the metal weights before putting the fuselage together and had to come up with creative way to add lead shot after it was almost finished. My mistake. I believe had I added the metal weights plus additional weight further forward my tail sitting problem would have been solved from the beginning. Here it is in its glory for your viewing pleasure.
