Reini78 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Once again time for something new, this time the recently released new La-11 kit by Ark models. DSC_0006 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr gonna do either the all red aerobatic scheme DSC_0007 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr or the Chinese Korean War one DSC_0008 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiampieroSilvestri Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) Sehr schön! Bitte entschuldige die "Kritik" aber das rote Flugzeug ist kein Kunstflugzeug.Einige in der Russischen Arktis stationierte La-11 wurden Kirschrot lackiert um besser gesehen zu werden.🙂 Please excuse the "criticism" but the red aircraft is not from a aerobatic team.Some La-11 based in the Russian Arctic were painted cherry red to increase visibility.

AdrianMF Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Looking good so far. Was the closed up cowling a mechanism for dealing with the Russian winter? Regards, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Adrian Thanks. Can be seen on several Soviet radials. Could be opened or closed for cooling and against freezing. The I-15/16 had this system, I think the La-5 and -7 too, also the Yak-11 trainer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k5054nz Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I'm disappointed with the lack of cockpit detailing but I'm greatly enjoying this build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 The kit comes with a solid wing, but there are two clear parts provided for the landing light cover and you can cut out the wing. There are not many online pics of La-11, some seem to have no landing light, some only an underwing cover and a solid upper side....my dad decided to do a full clear landing light cover. Both clear parts together don´t match the wing thickness so he had to put a piece of plastic sheet between the two parts. Furthermore he simulated the light by using a plastic rod stuck into the wing.

Also enjoying the build - great work so far The kits I got from Russia came pre-packaged with Quinta 3D decals for the IP, consoles and belts. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted June 16, 2021 Author Share Posted June 16, 2021 my dad decided to cover and overpaint the upper landing light cover and only keep the lower part DSC_0005 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reini78 Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 decals mostly applied they are very thin and tend to wrap, happened so to one of the cowl "La-11" decals due to a heatwave, the paint is still a bit sticky and my dad thinks he won´t get the already applied decal completely off again without having to sand and repaint gonna wait for the hopefully soon to be lreleased Begemot La-9/-11 decals which include a red scheme, which also wears a fuselage number and looks more attractive DSC_0009 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0010 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
