I had been seeing this model for a long time in various online stores at 6-7 euros and always thought it was big and cheap. But I didn't quite like the plane. I realized that if it weren't for the pilot's cockpit the plane could be something like a bigger AR 234 Blitz. I just needed to give it a little earlier look by replacing the rudder and elevators et voila!. I did some preliminary designs using blueprints and illustrations from internet and I saw that the idea could have potential. Thanks for the coments, mates.  ;D

Fantastic job! It would work as an evolution of the IL-28's ancestor, the IL-22

............... the IL-28's ancestor, the IL-22


And the Il-22 is as near a copy of the Ar234C as ever there was!
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Wow, what an entry! Welcome to the forum. 

Glad you changed the horizontal stabilizer, the real Beagle just looks wrong with the straight wing and swept tail surfaces. 

The Beagle is under WHIFFED- I did a Taliban one for the captured GB, but not many others i can recall. 

Well done.

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Nice job. :thumbsup:
The tail does look better, I agree, and removing the cockpit lump from the roof gives it a much better look.
