Matthew Taylor 2001 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I will be building the 1:48 Eduard Lavochkin La-7 in the scheme of Soviet Ace Lt. Col. S. F. Dolgushin. This should be a relatively quick build as it is a weekend edition which means a low amount of parts and no photo etch, i will be building from the box so will use no after market parts. My plan for the finished model is to have a lightly weathered scheme with canopy open and gear down. Hope everyone enjoys the build as it progresses, i hope to add an update every few days if all goes to plan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Taylor 2001 Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 Parts of interior now complete. Next i will move on to the side walls and try to add all the wiring as accurately as possible Thanks to everyone that is watching so far, more updates to come soon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Taylor 2001 Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Painting of the sidewalls done, next step is to move on to adding the wiring and weathering. Gear bay painted and weathered with oil wash, i will probably also add some mud-like weathering where the wheels would be stored during flight. Hopefully there should be the final cockpit update over the next few days after i have finished the wiring, i will then be able to move on to assembly of the model. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Taylor 2001 Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 Since my last update on the La-7 i have assembled the model and applied the paint and Gloss Varnish, most colours where citadel acrylic paints that i brush painted, the white was applied using an airbrush, most of my later builds will be majority airbrush due to me now having a working airbrush. Next i will be applying the Decals and weathering which will be very light, after that i will apply Matt Varnish to Complete the model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Taylor 2001 Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 I have finally got around to finishing the La-7 Since my last post i applied and decals and weathered the model using various washes and pencils in the panel lines. I am very happy with the final product of the model, especially considering that it was mostly brush painted i feel the scheme ended up looking very smooth. Please comment and let me know what you think of the final project Thanks to everyone that has been following the build, new projects will be coming soon... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
