Booty003 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Just finished this one today (2 in one day...!!!). The old and bold Trumpeter 1/72 IL-28. These kits can be picked up for peanuts. Fit is a bit off in places but with the usual effort scrubs up pretty well. Do not follow the instructions for the pilots cockpit as the seat would be way too low. I wanted something to go with my Vietnam collection so used spare decals from the stash rather than the box options. Airbrushed using Tamiya paints (which I totally adore for airbrush work). Weathered using a Flory dark wash. EZ Line used for the radio wire. Very pleased with the way it has turned out and has decent presence on the shelf. Here we go with the photos: Cheers all, Phil 55 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

28ZComeback Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I love the weathered look of the finish. Which Tamiya color did you use to get the aluminum finish? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 That's top notch Phil,I love this aircraft since building the old Airfix kit years ago,and I notice these kit's are only about eight quid new! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Best Il-28 build I have seen so far! Beautiful metal finish! I'm guessing the real article had some sort of clear lacquer over the bare metal? (I know very little about the Il-28, but do have this kit- hope I can do half as well as you!) Nice one! @RidgeRunner- Martin- the Finns had an Il-28 target tug with lots of dayglo! 😜 Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booty003 Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 Cheers gang, I could be tempted to do another but in some kind of camo scheme. There are a huge number of operators of the type to chose from. I used XF16 - Flat Aluminium for the colour. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebra Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Very nice Phil. Had been mulling over the Bobcat 1/48 kit, but it’s quite a lot of cash and a bit too big. Cheap 1/72 kit makes a lot of sense, particularly if it can be built this well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariado Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 That's very nice. I couldn't believe how crude these aircraft were when I took time to study one at the Czech Air Force museum at Kbely outside Prague... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rymulus Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 👍 Very cool. I love this plane. I also built this model from this set but I changed a few things there. This is my Beagle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Rymulus, All I can say is. "Wow!" Incredible workmanship and attention to detail. Not sure I am anywhere close to being in your league. That being said, I have saved your WIP as a guide for how to improve the Trumpeter kit, which was a disappointment to me when it was released. If they only did better research...
