Other than that, I'm glad they took on this subject. And I'm sure Hobbyboss will do one. Like they did with the Yak-28. We have to wait till its release to see how it compares to the Bobcat one.

If the subject will prove popular - what I assume - more sheets will follow, with a.o. early Egyptian Beagles.😎 Greetings Diego 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Source: https://twitter.com/bobcat_model/status/1101623015534551040 V.P. Wonderful artwork! The red stars without white outline are also spot on for Soviet 1960s era Beagles There is only a small "logical" critique point, as the "45-36 MAN" torpedoes could be launched only few meters above the water surface (just like on earlier torpedo carrying aircraft) and not from above the clouds like on the drawing - however, this problem was solved with the "RAT-52" rocket propelled torpedoes, which enabled a launch from much higher altitudes...

Diego Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) .... however, after checking several references on the Beagle I discovered a sad fact that, as 45-36 MAN and RAT-52 weapons installed on external pylons drastically reduced the aircraft speed and maneuverability, making flying tricky, only a single test Il-28T flew with these external racks installed. The operational Il-28Ts had their torpedo-warload installed internally in their (longer) bomb bay. This explains why Soviet and Indonesian IL-28Ts were not seen with external weapon racks installed... Anyway, this doesn't change the fact, that this kit will finally enable us to build an IL-28 "vanilla" bomber or an Il-28R recce variant with wingtip tanks, or an Il-28RT ELINT bird with two identical belly radomes...and of course a Il-28T with "internal" armament. You will only need to engrave a longer bomb bay in case you choose to represent it with closed doors - in case of an open bomb/torpedo bay, however, a bit more work would be of course required to represent the longer bay... There are also some intriguing (faired over) parts for the tail gunner position... perhaps the civil "Aeroflot" IL-20 variant used to transport "Pravda" newspaper matrices between Moscow and Vladivostok (before the times of digital data transmission) ? Maybe an Il-28U Mascot trainer could also be in the works? Greetings Diego Edited March 11, 2019 by Diego 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) Two decal sheets for the 1/48th scale Beagle have just been released by Hi-Decal: HD48035 IL-28 Beagle: HD48036 IL-28 RT/U Beagle/Mascot: Edited April 30, 2019 by Diego 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold55 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 These look to be excellent sheets of some great schemes. Question is that I don't think parts for the IL-28U version was included in this first boxing from Bobcat or am I wrong on that. If not then do they know about plans to release a 2nd version?

Biggles81 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) Now crying out for some AURI or ALRI decal options. Seems to be one of the few export operators not covered by the kit or Hi Decal. Edited May 2, 2019 by Biggles81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
