Stressy Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Can anyone tell me if the bomb-bay in the Italari IL28 Beagle is in the right place? I'm wondering if its too far back or perhaps the underfuselage radome too far forward with a too short nosewheel gear bay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antti_K Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Hello Stressy, here is an original drawing showing locations in meters. Possibly it can give you the required answers. Kind Regards, Antti 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antti_K Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Hello James, the Soviets had some of the manuals written in flawless Oxford English. These were intended for export aircraft. You should see the original export air crew manual! Possibly the best I've ever read. One aircraft had all cockpit placards printed in Oxford English (Starboard, Port, undercarriage, ...) and an another had "American English" (Left hand, right hand, landing gear, ...). Then of course there were two aircraft with Russian placards. Cheers, Antti 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But painting aircraft Soviet Air Force in different colour than silver it's rare. Most this situation it became possible only thanks to the movie. Because of this, we can see black Soviet lL-28 in role "Canberra" & Yak-25RV in role "U-2". MiG-17, IL-38 & Tu-128(no photo, no this movie in internet) with stencil "U.S. Air Force" or Mi-24 with (don't remember) "National Guard" (?). Due to the fact that after the film, many planes were not repainted immediately or were repainted carelessly, there were cases when for some time the planes were exploited in the "cinema camouflage". This led to interesting collisions, like this Be-12 with a swastika: that had previously depicted a German hydroplane in the movie "Torpedonoscy" ("Torpedo bomber's"). B.w. on my option it's best movie about Soviet pilot WW2. Therefore, it is possible that such a "black IL-28" could be used for some time after shooting a film in the USSR Air Force. What is an indirect confirmation: "Immediately for some reason I remembered the story of my friend. He served in military service in 1974, in the air defense forces in the Far East, somewhere near Khabarovsk. And just like that, on one of the teachings, the entire personnel of the unit was urgently ordered to leave the airfield and concentrate in the barracks. At this very moment a black plane landed on the strip. Quickly refueled and took off again. What it was still not clear. I confess, even from the beginning, I took his story for an ordinary army bike. But now I admit that it could be true. Photo did not show him yet." http://scalemodels.ru/modules/forum/viewtopic.php?t=20388&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=340 B.R.

Diego Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) An interesting fact is that the serial Il-28Ts, as used by the Soviet Navy and then the Indonesian Air Force and Navy , didn't use the tip tanks and had a standard, small radar dome under their bellies ( they also had a "standard" bomb bay used to accommodate the smaller RAT-52 rocket-propelled torpedo - the new kit being correct if build without the external fuselage racks ). However, it seems that a more secretive variant, the Il-28A (N) nuclear attack bomber, was equipped with a bigger underbelly radar dome, similar to the one supplied with the Bobcat kit. Six Il-28As, 33 Il-28Ts and 3 Il-28Us were send to Cuba during 1962, leading a.o. to the infamous Cuban Missile Crisis, but were shipped back to the USSR after the Kennedy-Khrushchev agreement. Il-28 (A?, T?) in Cuba: Il-28(U?) landing mishap in Cuba - note what seems to be a faired over rear gun turret, the absence of a belly radome and no markings at all.

Antti_K Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Hello Diego and Co., I just ordered the kit from Hannants. As I'm sitting and waiting I dug all the course material from the attic and started to read from page 1. An original manual states that the wing of Il-28T was moved 100 mm (ca. 2 mm in 1/48 scale) backwards (when compared to Il-28 or Il-28R). The manual also gives "weird" measurements for the bomb bay. Some more researching will take place when the kit arrives. I guess I won't be moving the wing as the wing glove looks very nice in the photos. I'll keep you posted.

Cheers, Antti Hello Antti, The Il-28T story is a rather complicated one, as there were at least 5 versions on the "T", four different prototypes, a.o. with a different nose glazing and other modifications ( moved wing, longer bomb bay and other equipment like tip tanks) and finally, a serial T with practically no external differences when compared with the bomber variant (even the underbelly radome was standard), capable of launching the shorter RAT-52 torpedoes from the bomb bay... Anyway, please keep us informed Greetings Diego Edited July 12, 2019 by Diego 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antti_K Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Thank you Diego🙂 I gues it is best to wait for the kit to arrive and then compare it's dimensions against the data for Il-28 and Il-28R. I'll keep you informed. Cheers, Antti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floggerman Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) There was also an IL-28U for a movie production. Today it's in bad state: https://www.airfighters.com/photo/104850/M/East-Germany-Air-Force/Ilyushin-IL-28U/193/ The iron cross (on strange place) is still visible, the swastika not (no wonder). As this was used for static display only, the right side wasn't camouflaged. If the cammo scheme wouldn't be that difficult, I could not resist...

Antti_K Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Excellent video Serge! Thanks for sharing🙂 The port nacelle interior clearly shows that dirty yellow colour also found in Finnish Air Force examples NH-1, NH-3 and NH-4 (Possibly in NH-2 as well). It is also an interesting detail that "Interior Green" was used in other interior surfaces in the nose area. Cheers, Antti 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
