Rikywarbirds Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Hi everyone, Very hot here in Spain, hard to modelling if you not have air conditioner, or at least a beer 🍻! Here are my last two builds. Two commission works for two different collectors. A Lavochkin La-7 1/48 from Gavia with Eduard PE parts, and a Sukhoi Su-24 1/72 from Zvezda. I hope you like them. Thanks and cheers Ricardo 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

28ZComeback Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) Richardo these builds are phenomenal!! Are you familiar with a Trumpeter Su-24 build that was posted on these pages years ago?? Your Fencer reminded me of the Trumpeter build—beautiful weathering and complexity to the finish. Thank you for posting these photos.

28ZComeback Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I would like to add that I initially thought the Su-24 was in a larger scale, given the small detail work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckwizard Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 The heat obviously did not damage your build abilities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks pals, I haven't seen that Trumpeter Su-24, it must be amazing since is more detailed that one than the Zvezda one. I mean in 1/72. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelh Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I'm not a fan of Russian aircraft generally but you could convert with those two creations. From a pleasantly warm 24 degree west of Ireland. We don't do hot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisGL Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Although to my return to the hobby, now I have only done AFVs, I have always been fascinated by airplanes, and both of you are a magnificent job, I would love to emulate something similar. With the 1st wave of heat this summer, it is really difficult to dedicate to the hobby without "going crazy", from one of the main heat centers (Córdoba). Saludos Ricardo. 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same kit as the Gavia one is from Eduard too, if you know it. Is the same mould. I think is a nice kit, not superb but very correct. But if you like the Lavochkin planes, I recommend you the La-5 or La-5fn from ZVEZDA. That's a great kit. Saludos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard very good reviews about the zvezda, so i'll wait for one of those! Thanks for the tip!. Saludos. Nacho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
