La7 Eduard 1:72 RED ONE

[Rafhart]

Model made on the basis of authentic notes, the application should not be overdone with vodka.

Eduard 1:72

With this La-7, a rather interesting
history. In April 1945, as Alexei Vasilievich told us,
One evening they sat and drank with his technician. Alelyukhin
Talked about life after the war and about what would be good
To put a monument to La-7: paint it in red and raise it
On the pedestal ...
The next morning, the regiment was raised in combat alert and
Alelyukhin, dressing on the run ran to his plane. What kind of
Was his amazement when he saw that his whole car - from
Nose to tail - has become a dazzling red color!
As Alexey Vasilievich later recalled, he "in gratitude"
Already reached for his gun, but time to deal with
Then the technician was not.

Very nice model and story.

However, I can bet that original plane was not so nicely are carefully painted (as painted in the dark during single night and be by people with doubled spirit inside) . But the model would not stand it...
