Il-28 Seabeagle

[zenrat]

PDRV Navy land based maritime patrol aircraft.
Turboprops, long range ASMs and maritime search radar.
I'll be grafting on complete nacelles from another kit and am actively looking out for a plastic "thing" with a nice radome like shape.
Scratchbuilding of the ASMs has started which I hope isn't a breach of the rules    I figure this is no different to using missiles from another kit or weapons pack.
Not looking forwards to all the PSR round the nacelles.

Now, where's that jar of Soviet Interior green/blue...

Sounds like fun!

[zenrat]

It will be fun.  I've been thinking about this one for a while.
Nothing really to show but i've glued the nacelles together so I can see where to hack at to get them to fit the wings.
I'll be interested to see how quickly you lot can identify them.
Also started putting the cockpit together.  The Italeri Beagle has better then average ejector seats (4 parts each) and separate side consoles for the pilot but it's a bit vague on exactly where these locate and even when you work it out some trimming is required.

Nacelles "adjusted" and attached to wings.

Mock up.

Almost looks FSW in that shot

Fokker F-27 nacelles? 

Looking good!

Great idea. That's an aeroplane I've always wanted to build, and the new mods are looking good on her !

[Acree]

Great idea!  It's going to end up looking a lot like an A2J Super Savage:

Can't wait to see the progress!

Now I definitely replied between Dave & Todd but it seems to have vanished - like an old oak table.

Not Fokker nacelles Dave.

FSW?

Not aware of the Super Savage Chuck but there is a resemblance.

Fairey Rotodyne nacelles?

Fairey Rotodyne nacelles?

Heh heh heh.  Correctamundo.  Well done.

The Rotodyne will one day get the Beagle Nacelles.

[Army of One]

Oooooh.....be very interested to see what you do with the engines....i got a couple in the stash and wanted to turbo prop one as a 'Sandy' and 'Jolly Green Giant' killer of the NVAF........with a solid gun nose......

FSW?

Forward swept wings. They just look slightly that way in the photo

Yes, IL-28 wings do tend to look like that unless you're looking vertically down on them.

I noticed it on my long delayed 'big wing' recce IL-28RV 'Mainbrace' before I changed them for something else. It's because the leading edge is dead straight and the trailing edge sweeps forward quite sharply I reckon.

Fairey Rotodyne nacelles?

That thought crossed my mind and then went on down the road.
