@Mike Grant
Mike, this kit isn't good choice for pleasant and relaxing modelling. I used a lot of putty. Landing gear very deep, very long landing gear - I reworked them. The cabin is empty. I finished the cockpit of the navigator and the rear gunner. Also completed the nozzle engines. Red stars in kit's decals are small, had to replace them with another set. Red "17" is selfmade. In common detailing and quality of the casting is low. But there aren't so big choice of this iconic Soviet airplane in this scale. My Dad was a technician of IL-28 at the beginning of his career. So I had to have it for my collection.

Mike Grant
Thanks Dmitry, I'd never have guessed looking at the photos that you'd had such issues with the kit, which is a testament to your modelling skills. It's a pity it's such a difficult build; I really like the aircraft and would like to build one.

Martin Chen
Great work Dmitry!BTW one thing you gotta to know this kit is only priced for less than $4 in China, so you pretty much get what you paid for.

Dave Flitton
I need to get to China and pick some Trumpeter kits and get back. That kit is going for at least 4X that amount here

Ekki
Very good work.

Dmitriy
@Martin Chen. I agree that 4-6$ is good and fair price for this kit. I got it like a present 🙂 I prefer spend a few dollars more for better kit. However we don't have great choice in this case.

Ulf Petersen
Excellent!👍

Nice aluminium color. What kind of paint did you use?

Dmitriy
@Szilard I used Vallejo Model Air. I'll check the number later. I liked it. It's perfect for airbrushing.

You turned this poor quality model into nice shelf display .. nice !
question: what is the length of finished model from nose to tail ?

Brad Bronov
Wow, very nice. This kit's been languishing in the 'build one day' pile for a long time...this might be the inspiration I need to tackle it (and the Part photo etch set to fill out the interior). Bravo!

Dmitriy
I used Vallejo Model Air 71.062 scalemates.com/colors/color.php?id=1321

Dmitriy
Thanks, guys!
@cortex471 I'll measure and come back with answer later.

Szilárd Kun
Thank you! I added my wishlist. 🙂
