Eduard La-5 (Zvezda repack) in 1/48
Hi to all,
this is my latest build, great Zvezda's La-5 in Eduard's packaging with addition of their PE parts and resin wheels. I have enjoyed every moment building this kit so i cannot recommend it enough.
Painted with Vallejo Acrylics, weathered with oils
Hope you like it!
Nicely built & finished Milan. The Soviets were evidently big on putting inspirational thoughts (propaganda?) on their aircraft. Do you know the English translation on this one?
Thanks Al! This one particular means Valery Chkalov Squadron. He was a Russian aircraft test pilot and a Hero of the Soviet Union. He died before WW2 in a plane crash while piloting a prototype of the Polikarpov I-180 fighter.
Superb rendition of a Russian classic! Well done. Love your finish on this one.
Great build. Don't see enough VVS types!
Very nicely finished and photographed, Milan. Excellent build.
Wonderful!
Best regards, Vlad
Lavochkin cool! The model has turned - not tear his eyes!
Ooh yeah looking good. Really good. Gotta get around to mine. I have an Zvezda La5 and FN, thinking about kitbashing an La5F. Hate to waste a kit.
Wow!
Really nice Milan, great model well photographed
Well done, a very nice kit perfect photographed ! And full of details, like
the control pins on the upper wings for the undecarriage !
To hear the kit is great, is good news, because i have the "FN" in my stash
There are a lot of parts in the fuselage.
Yes, to bad that almost all of that is not visible at the end. That goes to the engine also...
So i need two, i guess, i wonder about the proper interior color.
I have used Vallejo MC989 (sky grey), you can see how it looks on new images that I have attached to the post. Hope that helps 🙂
Thank you Milan, that helps, when not at hand something between RAF interior green and RLM 02
It looks great, Milan, glad to hear you liked the kit so much.
Really great looking model Milan. That looks like a nice kit.

Milan,
You did an excellent job on this. I really like what you have done here.
Excellent job, well photographed. A very nice model, i like the tones you've choosen. I see that you were farther with the metallic rasping (i mean peeling painting, i don't know the good word in english). I begin with this technique, I do not dare too much.
