First Look

Hi-Decal Line is back with another four unique subjects. This set depicts four Il-28 Beagles in 1/48 scale, two as bombers and two as tow-target tugs. This set is just in time for the new Bobcat 1/48 Beagle kits. The aircraft covered in this sheet are:

Hi-Decal LineHi-Decal Line

  • Il-28, Bort 40, 7th Bomber Bde, Polish AF, 1963
  • Il-28, 77 Independent Tactical Bomber Squadron, Egyptian AF, 1973
  • Il-28, Bort 01, Transport Squadron/Karelian Wing, Finnish Air Force, 1968
  • Il-28, Bort 208, Target Towing Wing 33, EGAF, 1981

This set will provide some distinctive markings options with two camouflaged and two bare metal examples. Note that this set does require you to overlay one or more decals to replicate national insignias.

Hi-Decal Line are available from many online retailers.

My sincere thanks to Hi-Decal Line for this review sample!
