      Tony's Lavochkin La-5

      Wanted to do something different for the GB,having two kettens in a small dio for the Germans I will be building a Zvezda La-5 for the Russians. The La-5 will have PE added and will stand on a simple base. So here a few pics to start with.

      You will enjoy the build, instuctions are a bit vague but detail is good, especially if it as good as the la-5fn.

      I have noticed that the instructions are vague and some of the parts numbers dont match up. I have 2 sprues dated 2007 and the other 2009,erm. Just started to paint some of the smaller components. May get a La-5fn next month to add to the stash. Tony..

      Dry test fitting of the engine. Needs to be tweaked a bit. Push rods are slightly out of position(small file will do).

      28 pushrods to file. All fun really.

      Hi Tony, don't know a great deal about Russian WW2 aircraft but looks an interesting kit. I've never built a Zvezda kit either so I'll be interested to see how much of a struggle/breeze it is to build (looks like you've already come across the first tweak - hopefully this and any others will be very minor).
      Good luck with the build.
