Hi folks,
Up for grabs is a beautiful Topping YAT-28E desk model. This was North Americans light attack turboprop aircraft that did not advance past the prototype stage. One aircraft suffered a tail failure during testing and that ended the program. This is one of the rarer Topping models. These rarely come up and when they do they are usually in horrible shape.
This model is all original without any repairs breaks or touchups. There were two versions made by Topping, a short tail version and a tall tail version. This is the tall tail version. Model is 10.5 inches long with a 12" wingspan and sits on it's original stand. A must for and Topping collection.

Just for the record on the Topping YAT-28 models, there were (4) variants that were produced.


The SHORT TAIL
The TALL TAIL
NAVY White/Dayglo Orange with NO hard points (my favorite)
ARMY Olive Drab with NO hard points.


I also had a blank Short and Tall Tail in-house version that were I think 1/32.


Pictures on request of the Army one............

Manufacturer's pre-design model of the AT-28E counter-insurgency variant of the Trojan, made by NAA's Columbus, Ohio Division model shop, ca. 1962. Shown here stripped of armament, with the exception of the twin, underwing .50 cal. machine guns. Exhaust location of the Lycoming T55 turboprop engine was later moved to port.

It resembles like a mini skyraider from some angles.
