Reini78 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 #17/2021 Ark Models kit, Eduard seatbelts, EZ Line for antenna Painting instructions call for cherry red, but there are lots of different cherries...my dad used Tamiya X-7 Gloss Red with a touch of brown. The cockpit detail is a bit sparse, only decals (not 3D decals like with some La-9/11 Ark Models boxings) for the side instruments. The distinctive Lavochkin two metal coloured cowl rings are missing so my dad masked and painted them. Build thread here https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235093905-last-pistons148-lavochkin-la-11-fang-911th-iap-soviet-airforce/ The 911th IAP received their first La-11s in 1948. In July 1949 the regiment was transferred from Bolshaya Elan in Sakhalin to Uelkal in the Chukotka Peninsula, the most north-eastern part of the USSR. There they escorted strategic Tu-4 bombers. Because of the all white surroundings the planes were painted red.
