Laurent Posted April 26, 2015 Posted April 26, 2015 I prefer the other versions than the P but that's great news anyway !
RODH2 Posted April 26, 2015 Posted April 26, 2015 Great news! An Su-11 from Trumpeter, a Pe-2 from Zvezda, and now this Yak 28 for us Soviet aircraft enthusiasts, good stuff!! (Not to forget Modelsvit's Beriev Be-12!) 1
Homebee Posted April 26, 2015 Author Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) And as Xuntong Model usually decline their kits in different variants... Yak-28BI, Yak-28PP "Brewer" V.P. Edited April 26, 2015 by Homebee
Kampartiger Posted April 26, 2015 Posted April 26, 2015 That is great news...wow!Hopefully the whole family will be there!
kpc7676 Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Now that's cool, something a little different to spice the competition up. Will be getting one for sure.
Arthur Driscol Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 What a fabulous surprise ! One of my all time favorites, although I thought my chances of ever seeing one of these produced were slim indeed. A glazed nose version would be especially welcome. 1
general melchett Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 At last...after the Hippo one seemed to die off too, my favourite version of my favourite Soviet era fighter, in my favourite scale...short nose too !!...excellent stuff, will definitely be getting one or two of these, lets hope for an increase in the family at some point !
exdraken Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 looking forward to these obscure Soviet types! a lot to learn about them for sure...
tony.t Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 New Fishpot out and a Maiden and Foxhound on the way, and now the Firebar - this is seriously eroding my willpower to stay away from 1/48! A decent Flagon and Foxbat would break it. Tony
FranciscoPRG Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Lovely! I´d prefer the Yak-25 Flashlight, with its bulbous nose, but this is sure not to be missed! Cheers, Xuntong!
Richard123 Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Am I right in thinking the Brewer was the bomber version? Hope we get one too!

Richard123 Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Am I right in thinking the Brewer was the bomber version? Hope we get one too! Sorry, I'm certain I'm an idiot. Will try harder next time.
general melchett Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Richard, basically the Yak-28 Brewer was a tactical bomber, (the B in Brewer gives it away), but there were also a few special missions variants, the Yak-28R or Brewer-D could carry out high speed, medium/low level photo missions. To complicate matters further there were sub variants of the aircraft, notably the Yak-28SR, Brewer-D, (tactical recon), the Yak-28RR, (radiation intelligence gatherer), Yak-28RL, (a standard Yak-28L bomber fitted out for RINT duties) and Yak-28PP, (Brewer-E) ECM platform, as with several Soviet era aircraft nothing is ever as simple as it first seems.....
