Stéphane Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Hello guys, Here's my last completed model, the Zvezda, 1/48 Lavochkin La-5FN, white 22, from 2 GIAP (Aviation regiment of the Guard). The yellow scribing reads "Mongolsky Arat", workers of Mongolia, whose donation funded 12 aircrafts in the squadron. This the first of the Zvezda's "new tooling", and was build out of the box, decals from the Avalon range. Quite easy build but for the soft plastic and the engine cowling is a bit tricky, as there are lots of parts to align. Paints from the Gunze acryl range, various mixes of RLM76 as basis, with black and blue. Hope you'll like her, and as usual comments and critics most welcome.

Murewa Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Wow! Are the radio line insulators/attachments stretched cotton bud shaft? I tried that myself recently and couldn't quite get it as thin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is that nowadays, these are no longer plastic and can't really be stretched. I have an old stock of it , but it will soon be2 exhausted.
