This is the Hobby Boss 48th scale Yak-28PP Brewer E. Another odd Soviet design from the 1960s.

Nice, certainly not the prettiest of designs.

This is the electronic warfare version and contains chaff pods beneath the outboard wings. This aircraft has so many pointy bits that it must be considered to be an occupational hazard for ground crew going about their business . I painted this in the very attractive 80's 4-tone tactical camouflage. Paints used were an old batch of XtraColour enamels - XtraColour brought out a very accurate range of Warsaw Pact colours. Weathering was done using a combination of panel line washes and pastels.
