I don't normally build 1/72 models, but I was inspired to build this kit by the cool photos posted by Spiros (@fiveten) of Greek F.1CGs. I happened to have this model in my stash, but I added some XtraDecals for the HAF markings, as well [...]

Review: Newly landed on my doorstep – Ark Models 1/48 Lavochkin La-11

I ordered this from a dealer in Russia back last December. It finally showed up last Saturday (thanks much, Louie DeNoJoy). It's a simple kit. Far better than the limited-run Mikro-Mir kit. Panel lines look heavy when compared with photos [...]
