As I like aircrafts with wingtip tanks, I plan to build chinese red 3304 http://www.airwar.ru/image/idop/bomber/h5/h5-3.jpg If I read well it would be a soviet built Il-28R ? thank you best regards Raphael This is a Soviet made Il-28 RTR electronic recce version. The wingtip items are not fuel tanks, but recce containers, very similar in shape to the tanks, but with dielectric front and rear panels. This means that this is a standard Il-28 version with classic engine nacelles. You will only need to make some rescribing to recreate the electronic containers Greetings Diego Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main landing gear bay doors are too short for the "recce" version. Also the engine gondola in front of MLG bay is too rounded. Il-28R has roughly equal length of wing tip tank visible in front of the wing leading edge and behind the trailing edge. I would build the kit without other modifications but those needed for the tip tanks. You can find more detailed information about the modifications required for Il-28R in my (still to be completed) WIP in here: Cheers, Antti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
