And start work on the kit. It was very precise in assembly, everything comes right in place and fit perfectly with other parts. My only complain is the wing top in two parts and think it is not good for the less experienced modeler and can cause aligning problems as well is have no guide.

I have often thought to purchase the Zvezda version of this, but Eduard offers some real enhancements with the PE, resin and decal sheet!

Carry on!!!

Excellent machine, No.1!

What colors did you use for the mud on the tires? It looks almost exactly like the color of our soil here in Oklahoma!

Post by: No.1 on March 24, 2014, 04:00:51 PM

Yes mate! Red brown color is also not rare in South Europe ;)

Title: Re: Lavockin La-5FN

Oooppss- forget to say that I use red brown pigments for dry brush on the tires.

Hello,

Very good rendering. Amazing build. Bravo !
The kit is very complete and it's a pity we can see nothing when the fuselage is closed...

Thank you very much mate :) Well, it is my decision to make it closed, I prefer streamlined shape

It's the same for me : I prefer "entirely closed" planes to keep the streamlining.
