Zigomar Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I have always thought that the La 5 was looking like a boxer, with an aggressive stance. I have done two of those using the then new Akan colors which were quite a change from the shades we were used to spray then. Both planes wear the number 14, the one without the tail bands is from the 178. GIAP in Feb 45 flown by Capt K.A. Yevstignyeyev, and the one without the bands probably from the 31.IAP, 295 IAD, but I have lost my file on this one. The Zvesda kits are great and detailed and I had a good time building those. best regards. 1654B19F-5F2C-4C58-9AC7-4BBF00814804 by jean Barby, sur Flickr 925D72FD-5105-4BF4-8609-D3F6B41398C5 by jean Barby, sur Flickr B7C41104-53A2-40DD-BD15-B5156003BA6B by jean Barby, sur Flickr 7F2F9710-B878-4292-B8BA-ED8DAC4DD50E by jean Barby, sur Flickr CAAD352B-DE3C-49A9-930B-80D0AF75242A by jean Barby, sur Flickr 274CE98B-CE98-41A0-A620-64F6CAAE3306 by jean Barby, sur Flickr 41C0A817-8F42-43C6-8C9A-2CDF5E1FD0E9 by jean Barby, sur Flickr 16854624-1A42-4DA1-939B-33C38EF189C0 by jean Barby, sur Flickr 0BD7653E-F027-424F-A2CB-049034EF5722 by jean Barby, sur Flickr 9B9B6CFB-5642-482F-8F33-F4F6ED04CD17 by jean Barby, sur Flickr 274CE98B-CE98-41A0-A620-64F6CAAE3306 by jean Barby, sur Flickr 41 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toryu Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Great models, great photography. Like a boxer, indeed. This is my favourite Soviet fighter although I don't play in this arena. Très bien Jean! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokyo Raider Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Wonderful job! I love your natural metal exhaust weathering! Looks perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigglesof266 Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Very, very nice Zigomar 🔟👍 VVS subjects particularly appeal to me. Love the La-5FN. Not the aesthetic of the inline engined Yaks, yet with a pugilistic beauty of its own, and such a significant subject in Soviet fighter development evolution during that war. Zvezda's kit of it is an absolute beauty -I have it in the stash. Hope I can turn out mine as well as yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Keg Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Superb Jean!!!!!! ( as we would have come to expect 😉 ). I`m getting spoiled rotten with your impressive works of art. Once everything gets back to normal, I`m coming for a visit because viewing your museum in miniature is now a “bucket list” item for me.
