Late Update....

Got bored with kit......

The fuselage and some of the components didnt want to play ball so I placed the La-5 back into the stash for another day. Well I have decided to have another good at this La-5. Tonight I split the fuselage in half,engine out and some of the fuselage bracing came out no problem. Now a day or two cleaning the glue lines up and re-assemble it. Paint needs to be touched up in places because of glue.

Tony..

PS. It will be late.

I missed this thread somehow. Great work Tony, looks real tricky and fiddly, nice work though. Are you realy putting it on hold.

Hi Tony

Stick with it mate, it looks a really good kit and your progress to date is excellent. By the photographs the fit didn't seem to be bad at all but I'm sure there's very good reasons for splitting the fuselage. I'm sure with your skills it will all come good.

All the best
