La La Lavochkin Land! 1/48 Zvezda La-5s

by Wes Pennest on January 27, 2021
in Aviation — 6 Comments

I get inspired by the planes I fly in flight simulators. Go figure. I've flown the LaGG-3 in IL2-GB and hated every minute of it. Once I stepped up to the La-5 I had something approaching the same revelatory moment pilots had when they traded i[...]

That Tempest II in July is nice. Hopefully the S.199 will be in 1/48 first. 4-cannon Fw-190A-5 is also interesting, as is the Spitfire V in the fall. I like the Fw-190F-8. Doing 109Es with the Special Hobby kit is great - that is absolutely t[...]

In my opinion, this is a very good Zvezda kit. It is built from a box and does not contain an upgrade. His painting was inspired by the scheme seen in the Panda set. I hope you like it. Best regards: János.

This model kit is titled 'Medieval Life Boat' by ZVEZDA. On reading up about it I found it was the type of boat used to transport men and stores to and from the ships used by the Crusaders. If required it could also be used as a ships lifeboat. [...]
