Coming along nicely, Carlos. But, let's pick it up a bit, okay?

To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Re: Special request build, 1/48 La-5
This morning after the gym I sanded the fuselage seams after letting that dry overnite. Then I added the wings…
And then I added the chin radiator, main gear well center plate, and the tail wheel mount. I also added some strip styrene shims at the rear of the wing to fill a gap there
I had to putty some small openings in the wing front that are a carry over from the common La-5/La-7 molds that should only be present on the La-7. I’m letting those dry before I sand them and resume adding the last assemblies.
More to come later on…

Re: Special request build, 1/48 La-5
So basic construction is now done. All that’s left to glue in place are the usual breakables: landing gear, pitot tube, antenna mast, and the bombs…
All ready to start painting later this evening…

Yes, very good. But this American Buckaroo is dangerous, give him a wide berth!
Da, Lyle!
But the model looks good, Carlos.
