TOPGUN88 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Hi folks. Does anyone know if the trainer version of the il28 beagle EVER flew with wingtip fuel tanks. Enjoying making the bilek kit at the moment a wondered if any mascot would have been equipped with them. Also I have what looks like new clear bombs under the wings. Any idea what type of bombs these would be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antti_K Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 As long as I am aware "Mascot" had the same fuel system as the Il-28 bomber. So no tip tanks. Cheers, Antti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I have what looks like new clear bombs under the wings. Any idea what type of bombs these would be? Sorry, but the Il-28U never used wingtip tanks (These were only used on the Il-28R). The cool looking "bombs" included in the Bilek Mascot kit are in fact PM-6G/R gliding/diving gunnery targets. These were only used on the Il-28 Beagle, but (unfortunately) never on Il-28U. https://www.16va.be/3.2_towing_flights_eng_part1.html If building the Il-28U, you have a nice, detailed cockpit: https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/PAVC72024 as well as some marking options: https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/HD72043 The only camouflaged Mascots were those of the Egyptian Air force: Edited October 11, 2019 by Diego 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelldoc Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 ...PM-6G/R gliding/diving gunnery targets. These were only used on the Il-28 Beagle. Yes and no. In cold war times the German Air Force (Bundesluftwaffe) picked op some in the Baltic Sea and tested it on her Phantoms in the WTD 61, Can't find the pic at the moment. modelldoc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a couple of pics of these on F-4F 37+15 in AirDOC's Luftwaffe PHANTOMs Teil 2 - Die MDD F-4F Phantom II in der Bundesluftwaffe 1982 - 2003, in the WTD 61 section at p. 41. Good stuff. 👍 Cheers, Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
