Brewer Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) The latest off the bench as I continue to attempt to clear out the shelf of doom. This one had a MASSIVE wing root gap that got it shelved for years, but I got it sorted and I'm so glad I did. Not a huge fan of the Russian stuff, but the La-7 is pretty sleek!

Vlad Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 The La-7 is pretty sleek indeed and yours looks so real, especially the close-ups by the wing, could be standing right next to it. The weathering and paint finish are just right.
SAT69 Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 The engine exhaust over unpainted metal is superb. And the cockpit is outstanding! Excellent model!
supersonic Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 Superb Build & Beautiful paint job! Since i intend to build one myself i would like to know which Neomega Cockpit ( item# ) did you use, i checked their site but could only find one for the Zvezda LA-5. Cheers Hans
Spitfire31 Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 Ambitious build, stunning result! It just looks… totally convincing. Not least that delectable discolouring of the metal panel behind the exhausts. Kind regards, Joachim
Brewer Posted May 8, 2020 Author Posted May 8, 2020 Thanks everyone! It's been a while since I built an older kit like this so I'm pleased it turned out as well as it did. 1 hour ago, supersonic said: Superb Build & Beautiful paint job!

Cheers Hans I'm not sure if they even make it anymore, I've had it for ages. Here's the box 1

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 Beautiful Lavochkin ... I love the exhaust staining.
