Ilyushin IL-28 Beagle

[MSea]

Back to the wrong side - ho ho ho
More bits added and the wheels are ment to be at different sizes, to make the plane look abandoned and in a bad way. The wood thing is going to be a rack displaying bombs. The base is also going to be abandoned and weed covered with a couple of people looking at the plane.

I like the cracked concrete effect - very nice.

Thanks Zak - it was very easy I just dropped the base.
The figures are Airfix WW2 Luftwaffe Personnel who will be changes to modern people looking at the plane in a museum.

Hi Msea,

Nice looking concrete that, very realistic.

I also like the lopsided look of the airframe which matches the pictures in the book. I have it too.

I will be using your build as additional reference to my build of my HPH models Ilyushin Il-28 'Beagle' though in 1/48 next year.

Keep it up Msea, an interesting build.

you are doing a nice job, I am eager too see it done. When it is done, build another and you will be filled and overcome with the joy and satisafaction that can be gained from the wonderful hobby a modellng aircraft!!!

Yawn.......yawn.

Aircraft are made when I am NOT making proper models ( thats ships to you and me )  -- but have FUN making whatever you like, that is what its all about.

[Bigkev]

Ah,

But you have to admit a certain satisfaction with aircraft models Msea, don't you?

It will just PLANE SAILING for him -ha ha.

[MSea]

As long as you don't start singing that Rod Stuart song "We are sailing"  -  when I was at sea all my friends used to find it funny to sing that when I was due to go back.

[Haddock]

We used to sing" hoist up the John B sail I wanna go home" ( more words than that but I can't remember 'em )

[MSea]

Thanks Haddock for the memories  you old sea dog you  - merry christmas and may all your presents be plastic.

A bit of colour on the figures. The engine will be enclosed by red wooden shutters - the back ones are sections of wood with a brass handle. The front ones are brass tube filled with a metal bolt ( for weight to bring the plane level ) and again a brass strip made into a handle.

Bombs away - first coat of paint.
Engine shutters fitted now for the rest of the plane.

Bits of an old paint brush used as grass. The plants are "gaugemaster" for railway trains and seem a little on the large side so will make some smaller ones from wine bottle tops and tea light metal.
