Wot? You no like da mixed colours?
As I said, these supposedly are prototypes so I would expect the final product to be al grey. Hmmm...speaking of which, maybe a modernised Yak-28P in two tone grey scheme similar to this:

Most likely mould fettling test shots, different colours for the various sprues would enable
a quick determination of which parts/moulds need work in terms of fit.

Well compared to my vacform Yak-28's these are magnificent fits.

Or compared to my 1/72 kit where you have to carve the parts from the flash before even trying the fit.

Supposed comment from Bobcat models:
http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4583846642 (http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4583846642)
Bobcat Model (previously Xuntong) 1/48 Yak-28P. 217 parts in box. The P kit will come with two different noses in box, a long one for later variants and a short one for early variants .
We will release Yak-28 PP (with translucent nose) shortly after.
The pictures are for test shots only. Final product will be molded in GREY color.

Here is a near final test shot of the upcoming Bobcat 1:48 Yak-28. Looking very good. We hope to have more updates on this kit (expected release is November) and Bobcat in the coming days!

Looking forward to this one. I have three builds planned.

Yakitty-yak (don't talk back)! :)

The YAK 28 is one sexy aeroplane.

I hope they followed with one of the glass nosed variants ... or perhaps someone can do a conversion set.

Yes it is !
One of my top few Russian Jets. Should look good in USAF ADC markings.

Pop the canopy/cockpit out of it, smooth it over and turn it into some kind of early nuclear cruise missile.

This was just posted on Facebook Red Star Scale Models:
And finally for the evening, we did get some information about the next items coming from Bobcat. Next will be the Yak-28PP - the electronic warfare variant - as depicted here. This is slated for April release. Also the Tupolev SB that many have asked about is still on the way and slated for the April/May time frame. So lots to look forward to!

Through a very highly classified and perfectly executed operation, we have been able to get a picture of Greg's first shipment of Yak-28Ps kits from Bobcat.

Okay, forget you've ever heard/seen me say this, but.... just this once, I may actually regret not building 1/48! :o

So buy it and scale-o-rama it into a 1/72 bomber. ;D :icon_fsm:

Cyber Modeller Bobcat Models 1/48 Yak-28P Firebar Interceptor Kit First Look (https://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/kits/bob/kit_bob_48001.shtml) by Michael Benolkin

Hyperscale Bobcat Models 1/48 Yak-28P Firebar Interceptor Kit review (http://www.hyperscale.com/2017/reviews/kits/bobcat48001reviewjh_1.htm)by Jennings Heilig
Conclusion
To say I’m elated to see this kit - and to see it so very well done by Bobcat - would be understatement in the extreme. I never dreamed I would see the day when I would hold an accurate, very well done, and well detailed model kit of the Yak-28P in my hand. Whoever did the research for this kit did a great job, and the execution lives up to it. The next kit due from Bobcat is the Tupolev SB, to be followed by the Il-28 Beagle down the road. I’m looking forward to all of them!
