Title: Yatsenko I-28 Post by: 66misos on September 26, 2017, 12:19:25 AM Hi,
here is my profile of the second Yatsenko I-28 prototype with M-87B engine during the state trials, October 1939: (http://modelforum.cz/download/file.php?id=1338710) in this camouflage: (http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/pages/colors/1937-40/i28-1_labeled.jpg) http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/pages/colors/1937-40/1937-1940.html (http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/pages/colors/1937-40/1937-1940.html) More photos and info (in Russian language) at http://propjet.ucoz.ru/forum/12-103-1 (http://propjet.ucoz.ru/forum/12-103-1) Regards, 66misos Title: Re: Yatsenko I-28 Post by: Massimo Tessitori on September 26, 2017, 08:25:42 AM Hi Misos,
this drawing is interesting. My impression is that the spinner should be wider. On the photo, I see a linear protrusion over the nose too. I wonder if there is some way to scratchbuild this prototype by recycling parts of obsolete kits. Regards Massimo Title: Re: Yatsenko I-28 Post by: 66misos on September 26, 2017, 08:43:49 AM Hi Massimo,
thank you for comment. Ther were several prototypes. My profile represents this particular one: (http://www.modelforum.cz/download/file.php?id=1338551) Here are another prototypes or modifications: (http://alternathistory.com/files/resize/users/user6327/Yatsenko-I-28-02-06-680x651.jpg) (http://cdn-live.warthunder.com/uploads/c1/d2644bcf07b95520b9b035c4ffd92fbb098d1d_mq/0054313.jpg) Regards, 66misos Title: Re: Yatsenko I-28 Post by: Massimo Tessitori on September 26, 2017, 09:30:55 PM Hi Misos, are there photos of the same prototype with the complete canopy?
Regards Massimo Title: Re: Yatsenko I-28 Post by: 66misos on September 27, 2017, 08:17:30 AM Hi Massimo,
I have found this photo on the net: (http://modelforum.cz/download/file.php?id=1338722) According to what I read this plane was designed with the closed cockpit, not with open one. Regards, 66misos Title: Re: Yatsenko I-28 Post by: Massimo Tessitori on September 27, 2017, 10:16:10 AM Hi Misos, this is good. It seems that the canopy had to be removed manually, as on I-200, 211 and on Yak-/4. I hope it was jettisonable from inside.
Regards Massimo Title: Re: Yatsenko I-28 Post by: learstang on October 01, 2017, 12:04:35 AM Beautiful profile, Michal (it's for my upcoming book 'Soviet Fighters of the Second World War')! Massimo, Omega do a rather nice resin kit of the I-28. They also do the Pashinin I-21, which I also have, and is also a nice all-resin kit.
Regards, Jason Title: Re: Yatsenko I-28 Post by: Massimo Tessitori on October 01, 2017, 02:37:01 PM Hi Jason, I have an I-30 of that firm. Looks very nice, apart for the canopy that was vacuformed badly and has an irregular surface of the windscreen. I could use it as a base for a new mould, or try to adapt another canopy.
