Zvezda 1/48 Lavochkin La-5 finished


Recommended Posts

Hi guys and girls,
You can find the built thread here on the site.

 

I finished this one having some issues here and there, most of my own making. The engine didnt fit too well. Needed some surgery to convince it to stick in reasonable. Lesson learned, more dryfitting even or maybe because my own scratch detailling. I had few problems with the landing gear, a first . With enourmess trembling hands I attached the antenna wires, they could be thighter but I take it. The canopy parts had disstortion and scratches otb. I was affraid to repair them, an error I will live to regret. Next time I will just try or order new ones. For the rest I tried to keep it tidy with minimal weathering. I hope you guys like it. I want to enter this one in the next IPMS Netherlands Euromilitaire show. You guys think I  should do that? Tips tops are welcome.

If I'd seen this thread before I wouldn't have posted my FN 2 hrs later. ;)

 

Very nice, I love the original airplane as well as your phantastic model!

wrench and mug

I had thought of putting a mug of tea on the navigator's table of my Lanc till I calculated a 10 oz mug down to 1/72.  Suddenly the idea wasn't so appealing!
