La-5F

I’ve been tinkering with the Vector 1/48 all resin La-5F kit. Here is the cockpit with some PE added from the spares box. The IP is a very thin resin overlaid on acetate instruments. The trickiest aspect of this kit is deciphering the lousy directions.

Looks great so far.

Little more work on this build, the wings and tail surfaces went on today. Surprisingly the fuselage seams cleaned up just fine after one coat of liquid putty. The wing seams will need a little more work. Tail surfaces mated up very nicely.

Looking good so far Matt. Those gaps at the wing root should be fun to fill.

Regards, Rick
