despondman's Lavochkin La-7 **Finished**

[despondman]

I am going to build the Lavochkin La-7.



There are 2 colour schemes, Czech and Soviet - undecided which to do at the moment.

Good choice!
If you allow me to: Ivan Kozhedub plane was in other camouflage colors

Thanks for your post. I much prefer those colours so very well might go for that scheme.

D-man,

I've never seen one of these built, so I'll be watching with interest.

regards,

Martin

Nice choice, and what a cracking "action" box top.

Here are the sprue, decal and instruction shots.

Looks like a nice simple kit. Should be fun to build.

regards,

Martin

I like the way the old frog kits had a small parts count and built quickly, some times I think modern kits are a bit over complicated with detail just for the sake of it.

Looking forward to this especially if it's done in the lighter camouflage.

Finally made a start. The cockpit had so little in it I felt I had to just fill it out a little.



Next job is to fashion a basic instrument panel.

Agreed.

Not a great cockpit, but a cockpit. Not my forte this but it does give a bit more than what came out of the box.

That looks good to me. Huge improvement on what Frog gave you.
