Pete in a shed Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Started during lockdown here is my Yak 28PP. I used the NH Detail interior and exterior set (most of it anyway), other than that its from the box. The colour scheme was sprayed using Xtracolour enamels. Blutac worms were used to make soft edges between colours. The stars are from Begamot, all the other decals are from the kit. it was sealed using a mix of Xtra varnishes and weathered with Tamiya powders.. It’s far from the best fitting kit in the world, but with a fair amount of work and tons of patience, in the end you can get a passable representation of a Yak 28. Hope you like it. Cheers Pete Thanks for looking 63 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binbrook87 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Wow that's impressive! Great build on an aircraft you don't see very often... especially in that scheme. The camo work is just superb 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorfinn Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Having wrestled with this beast of a kit myself...yours is nothing short of magnificent! Really an impressive build, and a beautiful rendition of the scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 A really excellent result! I know Amodel kits require quite a bit (a lot?) of work, but their willingness to kit some of the less routine subjects is very welcome in my view. There's no doubting your skill and technique from what we can see here! 👍👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammy da fish Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Lovely model you have done the Amodel kit proud. How much extra work did you do to get it to this high standard? sammy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bianfuxia Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 That's super cool and a really great build - well done! I love the look of that jet - always have - but when you see this model you think, all that jet to put what, 20 unguided rockets on a target? Congrats on a great model! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyJammedKenny! Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Wow! Impressive work on this Brewer! What a strange-looking aircraft it is, but I guess its looks could "grow" on you. It is certainly a really pleasant change of pace. Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vultures1 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Anyone who completes an AModel Yak-28 has my undying admiration and yours is an absolutely superb example. Your build is most impressive and the camo finish is excellent. Well done Sir! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just decided to buy one from Hannants. Thank you for posting this today! Great, looking forward to seeing it on this site. I would recommend getting the external NH Detail set as well because the smaller kit parts (aerials, etc.) are pretty thick! 16 hours ago, kapam said: I know Amodel kits require quite a bit (a lot?) of work, but their willingness to kit some of the less routine subjects is very welcome in my view. Totally agree. A good part of my stash is made up of Amodel kits because I couldn't resist the uniqueness of the subjects. 12 hours ago, sammy da fish said: How much extra work did you do to get it to this high standard? This early Amodel kit is a very poor fit. The engine halves were the worst parts being different sizes and misshapen. The inside of the nacelles is square shaped rather than round when joined together, so the round compressor/turbine kit parts were cut down and used as backing for the etch parts, but even these had to be cut to fit inside. There is a lot of plastic shimming at the wing roots and nacelle/wing joints along with a lot of filler. Lots of sanding! The top of the engines at the rear were built up with plastic card to be flush with the wing and to get rid of the enormous joint lines. Lots of sanding! The nose and wing probes were replaced by stretched spru. I rebuilt the outriggers. As mentioned before the small parts were from NH Detail and the ACE Russian aerial etch fret. All the interior parts were hewn to fit and only then were the etch parts fitted. You cant see most of this interior detail anyway. But don't let me put you off!!😄 10 hours ago, Ryan Hothersall said: Nice build. Thanks Ryan, I like your recent Russian builds, especially the MiG 21'S.

opus999 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 That's beautiful! I really like it in a camo scheme. It's such a fascinating aircraft to begin with and you've done a wonderful job with it. The camo is very well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Dyck Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 It turns out very impressive! It looks like a real angry bird and reminds me really at the Cold War times in my childhood. 🥶😨 Cheers Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
