Title: Zvezda 1/48 La-5 completed Post by: Seawinder on March 08, 2014, 07:58:51 PM (http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj243/pnmoss/Zvezda%20La-5/La-5LeftFrontHigh_zpse75493c4.jpg)

AKAN paints for the exterior; my own mix of Model Master enamels for interior A-14 Steel Gray. Decals from AML. Markings are for a plane flown by ace Vladimir Serov of 159 IAP, Leningrad front, in 1944. Inscriptions identify it as one of a number of La-5s built with "donations" from collective workers in the Gorky region and named "Escadrille Valery Chkalov" in honor of the famed Russian test pilot. Serov achieved 39 individual and 8 shared victories (numbers vary in different sources) before being killed on June 26, 1944, when he rammed a Bf 109G.

really very very nice. When I see it I would like to build another La-5, now in summer camouflage. 66misos Title: Re: Zvezda 1/48 La-5 completed Post by: Seawinder on March 12, 2014, 09:29:35 PM Thanks, everyone. I appreciate the comments.
