Title: Lavochkin La 176 Prop&Jet 1/72 resin finished Post by: johnr on May 23, 2013, 11:26:41 AM I scratchbuilt one of these awhile ago never believing that anyone would produce a decent kit but Musa has done it.

My scratchbuilt version is at the back. An La 174 (La 15 prototype) is a left - a rush job from an old kit of Russian origin. Musa's La 150 at the front (http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj29/John_C_R/Models/La176/Lavochkinfamily_zps8cc1c108.jpg) (http://s268.photobucket.com/user/John_C_R/media/Models/La176/Lavochkinfamily_zps8cc1c108.jpg.html) However the new style resin canopy is not without its problems (http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj29/John_C_R/Models/La176/La176canopytop_zps3c05102f.jpg) (http://s268.photobucket.com/user/John_C_R/media/Models/La176/La176canopytop_zps3c05102f.jpg.html) John Title: Re: Lavochkin La 176 Prop&Jet 1/72 resin finished Post by: Massimo Tessitori on May 23, 2013, 02:58:39 PM Hi John, was your scratchbuilding based on a Mystere IV of Matchbox?
