Reini78 Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 #14/2022 After the USN Skyraider, this is my dad´s second Korean War build this year. Hobby Boss kit, painted with a mix of Gunze H307 FS36320 Gray and H334 Barley Gray BS4800. Horizontal antenna wires with EZ Line, vertical one with fishing line. The kit has better molding quality, fit and cockpit detail than the Ark Model kit and for sure easier to build than the Mikromir kit. Build thread here https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235109468-korean-war148-lavochkin-la-11-fang-peoples-liberation-army-air-force/ Besides with the MiG-15, this is another case of Soviets in disguise. After WW2, Soviet air units supported the Chinese communists to eliminate the nationalist Chinese forces. Afterwards they also fought in the Korean War, wearing Red Chinese or North Korean markings. If the info is true, this aircraft was flown by N.Guzhov, 1st Sqn 351st IAP PVO, scoring two kills in the Shanghai region. The unit flew La-11 from 1948 to 1952.

28ZComeback Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 I have the Mikromir, Scale Bureau, Ark kits (all claiming to be the definitive La-11!!). But now I think this is the best kit. Thank you for this beautiful rendition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in a shed Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Beautifully finished La-11. Perfectly weathered. As I've said in another post I must find a good 1/72 model of this aircraft. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
