Ed 209 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Morning all I am the proud owner of a trumpy il28 and have been staring at pictures of real 1s and reeding of other people's experiences of it and I'm confused I have cut the tail off because I want a sovet 1 Is that correct? I have also decided to paint the gear bays silver with an orangey clear Laker like I saw in a walk round of a polish example that I can no longer find Dose this sound Wright ? Any help gratefully received Happy modelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antti_K Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Hello Ed 209, I have the Trumpeter example in the stash, but I haven't built it. There are some problems with the accuracy (at least in my two examples). - the wing is far too thick and the wing leading edge too blunt - there is weird "inverted gull wing" effect in the kit; the wing should be straight with zero dihedral when viewed from the front. - the main landing gear legs are too tall; they represent an aircraft in flight - the basic Soviet bomber variant had a ball turret at the rear. The Chinese Harbins had a modified rear turret Il-28s received a yellow primer all over. It is an opaque paint, so don't create a translucent effect on aluminium base paint. The shade varied from lemon to buff. Basic colour can be as bright as Humbrol 154 (which I used for my project). Use different shades of yellow for details. Landing gear legs are medium blue grey and wheel hubs dark olive green. You can find more details of an Il-28R here: Cheers, Antti 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antti_K Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 You are welcome Ed 209🙂 To my eye the "big" bomb doesn't look like an RDS-4; it looks more like an "ordinary" 1000 kg bomb with a retarding collar. Cheers, Antti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
