Hi Marco,
I think that all the LaGG-3s had the coaxial weapon, its type or caliber could eventually change.
Regards
Massimo

Hi Marco,
it's an impressive work. Will the side details of the coolers be visible on the completed model?
Regards
Massimo

I hope that all the detail will be seen when the model is finished.  This is amazing. |

Hi guys! Holidays are over, unfortunately...  ... I prepared details for painting and I will begin those in secon photo. Internal fuselages and bulkhead n?5 will be in Aluminium. I'm thinking for the best one: Alclad, Testors or the old and well tested Humbrol....what do you think about? Any suggestions? For the armour plate I am thinking to paint it with Testors Stainless Steel Metallizer and dark leather for headrest. Or it was in other color...? And the seat? Aluminium, steel or some other color? In some photos it appear in grey or blue gray...  Many thanks for your opinions!! Ciao. Marco   |

I would give a go ahead for Alclad because it's so easy. I can't give you any details concerning your other questions and leave this to the professionals. |

Hi Michael, thanks for your suggestion . I purchased Alclad and his black for background several...time ago. Maybe now is time to use it... . What do you think about Testors Metallizer. Do you have experience with it? Marco |

Hi Marco, hi Michel,
really an impressive scratchbuilding of details!
The colors... embarassingly I don't know them, but I imagine that an unpainted steel plate becomes rusty, so I would exclude unpainted metal. All the sides are silver because the wood was painted with a silver primer. I suggest one with a granulous look, it hasn't to reproduce unpainted metal.
Colors of the rear plate... on photos I see a medium color for the plate, with a nearly black headrest. I don't know the real color, in doubt I would go with A-14 grey, or with green as it was found on a wreck of MiG-3.
About the aluminium part of the seat, I guess it could be unpainted, but I haven't real informations.
Regards
Massimo

Marco,
using Alclad is easy. They say so to use it with a black paint underneath. I've seen using Alclad directly on the model also.
This been done by Jaroslav Galler is you know him.
I can't remember the use of MM Metalics.

Hi Michael,
next days I will do some tests using Alclad with and without black undercoat to determine the best result.
Ciao.
Marco

I've used Testors Metalizer paints and found them to be easy to use. Also the Metalizer sealer makes a nice gloss coat to prepare a model for decals (and for spraying on the decal sheet itself to strengthen the decals).

Jason

@Marco,
ok.
I think that I liked the Alclad without the black paint underneath more because it was more realistic.
@Jason,
do you also use the MM flat coat?

I have, but with not as much luck. To be honest, I've never seemed to have much luck with flat coats, no matter what the make or whether it's acrylic or otherwise. It either splatters, goes on semi-gloss, or goes on so flat it gives a chalky appearance to the paint. I'd like to hear if someone has a good non-acrylic flat coat they can recommend. I actually have three models I'm at the stage of applying the flat coat (a VVS P-47D, a LaGG-3, and a VVS P-39Q). I'll let you know if I find a flat coat that works.
Regards,
Jason
