Ilyushin IL-28 Beagle.

[msm2]

Started this last night a Tamiya 1/100 IL-28 Beagle. It is a simple kit to build but it is some practice to me. Yesterday built the fuselage and engines up and filled the gaps. Tonight gave it a primer coat of matt black before I applying the Bare-metal silver top coat.

Looking very nice, it's not an aircraft I'm familiar with, but looks an interesting subject. Great work.

Small update with this. I put it away in the loft while sorting the under the stairs cupboard. Now I can get back to finishing this off. Decals to be applied and nose cone to be painted(where did I leave the masking tape) and glued on.

Having the same problem with the nose cone. Off to the shop to get some narrow mask tape. May have to do a bit at a time. Great to see someone else building a IL-28. Got a Trumpeter 1/72 scale in the stash with a H-5 Ha Chinese version.

Tonight the nose cone will be masked up and the undercarriage doors and bomb day doors fixed. A little weather may be called for.
