Heres the Zvezda 1/144 Lavochkin La 5FN , a quick build snap together kit. A few replacements were needed due to me breaking off the kit pitot and aerial, but a very nicely detailed little thing . Finished as white 93 ,flown by Vladimir Orekhov of the 32 Gv IAP (guards fighter regiment) ,Kursk 1943. build thread can be found here https://www.scale-models.co.uk/threa...-la5-fn.34994/

Forgot to mention , if anybody’s thinking of doing one of these quick snap together zvezdas with the solid canopy, don’t do as I did and paint the area under the canopy black - it didn’t make any difference , I still got a silvering effect , what I should have done ( and will do next time ) is to paint the underneath of the canopy piece black, then stick it on . This learning curve just never levels out does it !? Cheers tony
