Great build and finish! What actual colours did you end up using? I assume a mix of Vallejos?

Hi all, I have been meaning to build the above aircraft in Omani colours. However, it appears that the Fly boxing 48015 that included them has long sold out. Does anyone know of other options e.g aftermarket decals for this scheme? Many thanks, David

Has anyone come across this kit in Europe yet? Seems like currently it is only available from Japan.

All the information you need can be found in ‚Hot Skies over Yemen Vol.1‘ by Helion publishing. Cannot post without violating their copyright, but well worth the buy.

I can recommend the book ‚On the path of Songun: the armed forced of North Korea‘ as undoubtedly best source on the Il-28 in NK service. Yefim Gordon should only be trusted on Soviet service info really. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Armed-Forces-North-Korea-Songun/dp/1910777145/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2PP5NXWAVMR6F&dchild=1&keywords=the+armed+forces+of+north+korea&qid=1614510244&sprefix=North+korea+armed%2Caps%2C171&sr=8-1

Hi, does anyone know how the Ju 188 turret hole is plated over if no turret is installed? Just a metal plate? Or glas? best, David

Hi guys, I‘m trying to decide between the HB and AMG kits of this vehicle to portray one in use 1941-45. However, I am quite confused by the many available versions and lack of info on any of these. HB make the Steyer and Daimler distinction whereas AMG (who I would like to avoid unless HB is far of the mark in terms of accuracy) distinguish between early, mid and late versions. All I know about the late version‘s features is an apparent armor upgrade and change to the gun. can anyone elaborate on what is the most accurate kit and what differences there were

The Begemot decals have also released, but sadly the Mongolian option is lacking some very large and complex unit markings, and is thus incorrect. Not sure about the others.
