"The Yakovlev Yak-28 was a swept wing, turbojet-powered combat aircraft used by the Soviet Union. Produced initially as a bomber, it was also manufactured in reconnaissance, electronic warfare, interceptor, and trainer versions, known by the NATO reporting names Brewer, Firebar, and Maestro respectively. Based on the Yak-129 prototype first flown on 5 March 1958, it began to enter service in 1960."

Believe it or not I built a model of the Yak 28 back in the late 50's or very early 60's . Can't recall the manufacturer of the kit tho. |

Nice looking plane, don't think I've seen it flying, guess I'm not that old…on the other hand I've seen MIG-21's, so who knows… ;) |

Not that strange, the the Brewer and the Maestro were pretty rare birds so seeing one of those would have been very unusual. The fighter versions were long range interceptors and tended to operate from the USSR's more "far flung" bases. Also about ten times more MiG-21's than Yak-28's were built. Armand
When I used 1/300th scale models I used to have a few Navwar, now Heriocs and Ross, models. They were Brewers with glazed noses and I filed a few down to make fighter versions. I'd like a 1/600th version (And the Tu 128 "Fiddler") but they are such a niche model I can't see it. Yes I know the Tupelov is on Shape ways but I don't like thecost/material. Fatman |

I can see it in 1/600th, since they were once the mainstay of the Soviet interceptor fleet. I want a bunch too, along with the TU-28/TU-128 in this scale. I'm talking a squadron or two, at one-to-one mini to real aircraft ratio. |

Mako I will try Paul of TD next time I see him. I try to make up a disc of three views and pictures of types we are requesting to encourage him. You never know he might go for it. Fatman |

Sounds good. While you're at it, please ask about the Tu-128, Bear and Bison bombers, B-58 Hustler, F-101 Voodoo interceptor and recon birds, and the F-106. Also, an update on the new Chinese jets would be appreciated as well. |
