I like to do 1/48 scale models for my friends and use the markings of their plane. If you have any pictures of the El Centro T-28B I would appreciate the help.
Internet searches haven't provided the answers. I'm sure a FREEPER out there will.

Isn’t their nickname “cement mixer”?

Go to that bases Facebook(or have someone do it for you) and they will probably provide a picture.

What was the color of the rear deck? Was it interior gray or anti-glare black? Rear Deck? As in floor of the rear cockpit? I flew T-28B/C at NAS Pensacola in 1974 and I seem to remember the cockpits being good old "battleship gray". 45 years ago and the mind is fading...
Fun bird to fly, though. I really liked formation and Running Rendezvous. Acro was great, too.

Nice, and it looks like you’re getting lots of good info.
A close friend of a close friend owns one. Through a lucky series of events, I got a nice ride for 30-40m. It was great!

I used to do 1/48 scale Navy and Marine Corps aircraft models, and before Algore invented the internet, I used 'In Detail And Scale' and 'Colors And Markings' books for reference.
There was also a company that made very detailed decals, for just about any aircraft one could think of. Can't remember their name right now.

First plane I ever flew and first plane I solo-ed in. I had no idea what I was doing. Good thing I had two great instructors; Tom Padden and J.P. Giguere (who was KIA 2 yrs later in Grenada).
