Hi all, presenting my take on an Antonov An-28 in USSR era Aeroflot colours (and
requesite sheep). I’m pretty pleased with how it all turned out and wish the
photos did it better justice. If it’s not clear from the pics all wings and fins
have ‘rudders’ which can move.
The one bit I’m not entirely happy with is the way it requires clear bricks as a
support to stay on its wheels but that’s because LEGO engines are light and LEGO
tails are heavy as opposed to the other way around for the real thing... oh
well, what you get for building with toys.

| (...) Nice plane Tim!! I like how you captured the leading edge of the wing so well. Not easy to do in Lego for sure. Could you please work on an An-124 or An-224 in this same scale next please? ;-) (...) I think the sheep help convey this plane's (...) (18 years ago, 3-May-07, to lugnet.build, FTX)

| (...) Sometimes, Tim, I'm not sure what impresses me more about your MOCs - the sheer quantity you produce, or the amazing quality of them. And quality can overwhelms on this occassion.

| Once again, excelent work, You really love your russia gear. (...) Have you thought about using train weights in the nose of the aircraft to balance the weight? The should be small enough to not effect the design Aaron A (18 years ago, 4-May-07, to lugnet.build, FTX)

| (...) Tim, Simply another great MOC that showcases your talent. Thanks for sharing. You may want to try and place a 'Boat Weight 2 x 6 x 2' (73090b) near the nose as a counterbalance. (18 years ago, 4-May-07, to lugnet.build, FTX)

Below for instance is a row of KC-135 aerial tankers: (URL) (Warning - large file size) You can see the poles below the (...) (18 years ago, 4-May-07, to lugnet.build, FTX)

| Tim, You're one of the very most prominent builders on Lugnet these days, thanks for sharing yet again. Very cool to see these aircraft of yours, especially since you have knack for trying out aircraft that others haven't built in LEGO before, or (...) (18 years ago, 7-May-07, to lugnet.build, FTX)
