Stressy 129 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Some pics of an Il28 I completed recently. Possibly the worst fit of parts I've ever encountered and persevered to completion! Even the panel lines on the 2 fuselage halves didn't line up needing a full rescribe. I added an Pavel interior up front. Still got there in the end with the help of you-all! 25 Link to post Share on other sites
thorfinn 3,195 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Props for sticking with it to the bitter end! It looks fine. Link to post Share on other sites
John_W 2,736 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Well done. I built this kit from a Trumpeter Boxing, and it is a challenge. Not even sure it is 1/72. Link to post Share on other sites
Antti_K 1,861 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Lovely work Stressy! You've found a very good orange colour for the interiors; it looks really good. This is the Italeri kit, isn't it? It has been released also by Bilek and possibly by Trumpeter (at least the parts look identical). I built one ages ago and it was challenging; mine didn't turn out as nicely as yours. I'm currently building the all new Bobcat 1/48 scale Il-28 converting it to an Il-28R.

Stressy 129 Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 The fuse at least scales to 1/72 although the nosewheel bay requires lengthening a bit at the front according to plans supplied by Antti (thanks). I didn't have plans for the wing. The ones contained in Warpaint were clearly wrong ( but aligned well with the old Airfix kit). It was boxed as Italeri but was also identified as being Bilek. I think the Trumpeter one is much the same. The parts looked quite promising untill you started trying to put them together Link to post Share on other sites
