Fuselage, engines and wings assembled. 
Fuselage fit was fine. 
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.

- 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...

What I found odd about the engine nacelle gap, was the fact the issue was only on one side, not both. :hmmm:

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.

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 !
