IPMS19 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 - This is my next big project, the Beagle in resin from HPH in 48 scale. -The resin is smooth an strog, devoid of bubbles, the parts are numerous, which promises to give a very detailed model, the three member crew positions are very well furnished as is the bomb bay with its structure and weapons.. - Every landing gear struts are in resin too but reinforced by a metal rod.The clear parts are in resin too with all the frames neatly rised.The painted photoetched part covers all the instrumentations available to the crew . But the tyniest parts for an host of knobs are unusable being really too small. - The decals sheet cover only two machines, a Soviet and a camouflaged Chinese one - The notice is to be printed from a DVD, and at first glance it seems the differents parts are difficult to identify. - Building this model is quite a challenge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Very impressive! I especially like the Chinese version, although I wouldn't fancy painting it! Good luck on the build! Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Airfix did one, and I remember building a 1/100 scale one, possibly Eastern European around 25 years ago. Tamiya and VEB Plasticart both did 1/100 versions. The Tamiya kit is extremely neat and still fairly easy to find. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marty_hopkirk Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) I have this kit albeit its way down the build list therefore I shall be watching with interest, I have always like the IL-28. I bought mine copy direct online with HpH with no problem and arrived within a few days, although the packing could have been a little better given for the size of the kit and delicate and finely moulded nature of it..

Marty... -As it is, my main concern is how to show the jungle of wires and pipes in the bomb bay and in a lesser part in the three crew stations -I have experienced a mishap with the clear parts as I stepped inadvertantly on the pilot canopy..... guess the result.....! I immediatly mail to HPH and I got a whole clear parts set as replacement . They are really trusty guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPMS19 Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 - The job is proceeding smoothly. - Few troubles except that it is very difficult to identify the parts needed .Apparently the reason is the system of notice on a DVD which need to be printed to be efficiently used.So I elected to carefully find the parts required for a given module, identify the colors of ,the elements and proceed the building The building is no real problem.I choose to use the photoetched parts as they are very well detailed,( better than a hand painted part ) The only little problem comes with the throttle handles.HPH gives us resin handles, they are more precise in shape than photoetched parts but they are oversized -Part 98 does not fit the photoetched part inded and has to be made from scratch.It is the only bug I have noticed - Then the things goes smoothly the small table of the navigator given in photoetched is replaced by another o,e in clear plastic as the real one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I will enjoy watching this build , and may i just say how good it is to see you (again) building what is without doubt a challenging kit of a subject in a material not usually seen, sincerely Top marks ! no giving real criticisms of shapes/parts etc or 20 pages of diatribe where heaps of people join in to moan and whine about how wrong it is You simply ''MODEL'' How refreshing ! thank you Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
