Needed a break from the current project, so I pulled out HobbyBoss' "Easy Assembly" LA-5. Very basic...perfect for a one day "power build"!



I started around 2pm, this afternoon. Even with a couple hours away from the bench, and another hour+ spent messing with airbrush problems, I still managed to finish it up before midnight!

She aint no show stopper, but will look okay toward the back of the shelf!

I still can't believe that you pulled this one off in about 10 hours... Great job!

Even when it comes to the building time I'm a die hard professional. I build at least as long as the manufacturer needed to develop AND built the original.

No need to put it in the back of the shelf. That's a neat one!

Superb build that Fermis.

I really like those HB Easy build kits - the Mig-15 is really nice.

The exterior on the Easy kits is really nice. The interior is where they lack. But they are a quick build that can really look good in the right hands. I like this one.

Nice work, Fermis!!

Thanks dudes!

Truth.
They are good for practicing on finishes...and to get something on the shelf nice and quick...and cheap...otherwise

Very cool Speedy! Nice bird I'd say. But I ain't surprised about that Fermis!!
I bought the old 1/48 Hobbycraft La-5 from the consignment table at Kings Hobby in Austin, and want to do sort of a one-man "group build" with a 1/48 MiG-3 and Yak-9T that I've had for a while. I'm thinking an assembly-line approach since the landing gear and cockpits for each should be about the same colors. "Wings of the Red Star Triple Play!"

Uh, it might take me a bit more than 10 hours however. At least a long weekend...

Killer

Once again, I came in late. And that ain't no back shelf build man! I wish all mine looked that great! Way to go man!
