The engine casings, however, weren't so good. One side was good, with a small step on one side that needed to be "encouraged" into place. The other side has a huge gap, as you can see from the photo, and further gaps around the remaining joins too. So plenty of plastic putty used. Now all,is good.When Bobcat start to produce the proposed bomber, and recce versions, I hope they can sort the fit issue out. Again, I'm finding the surface detail is very good.IMG_5631 by ian gaskell, on FlickrIMG_5632 by ian gaskell, on FlickrIMG_5633 by ian gaskell, on Flickr - Building mine a few monthes ago, I thaught I had done something wrong, as I experienced some troubles with the engines nacelles, I'm relieved to see that after all ,I'm not really guilty.......Very nice building, I'm eager to see that beast in R.F.I.....Seeing yours, I even contemplate the possibility to built another one with long nose this time as this part was missing in my kit... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I found odd about the engine nacelle gap, was the fact the issue was only on one side, not both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Beastie Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 Got the decals, and stencils, applied. Some decals on the missiles too.Sealed the decals with a couple of coats of Alclad Aqua Gloss, and I let that dry overnight.Then a wash, with UMP's Dark Dirt. Even before cleaning of the excess, the UMP wash has really picked out the detail, great stuff.DSC_10057 by ian gaskell, on FlickrDSC_10058 by ian gaskell, on FlickrDSC_10059 by ian gaskell, on FlickrDSC_10060 by ian gaskell, on FlickrDSC_10062 by ian gaskell, on FlickrDSC_10063 by ian gaskell, on FlickrDSC_10063 by ian gaskell, on FlickrDSC_10065 by ian gaskell, on Flickr 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger331 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Ian, Great stuff........I have one of these in the stash so following your build with interest. Love Bobcat's 'box art' for this kit - Looks like a couple of F-16D/F-15E pilots have hijacked this particular Yak-28 ! Well Done, Sir ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
