Allright, a choice has been made! Stumbled upon this LA-7 at the LHS today and made a no brainer purchase wit the group build in mind. While this is still the same old Academy LA-7, it has received some interesting new decals and still looks the deal once finished as the Lavochkin was a fairly simple aircraft.

This is going to be my first aircraft model since around spring last year so i chose a basic kit and chose to build OOB with possible scratch additions.

Hope you guys like my choice

Made a start on the pit. Pretty non existant on this Academy oldie so i cut up some UTP cable and scraps of PE and made an attempt to detail it up a bit.

The seatbelts are made of a T34's PE set. Some tool clasps i believe :giggles:

Those seat belts look convincing, especially for armor PE on an aircraft.

Nicely done, frogboy. I've about given up on PE and seatbelts....almost.
