MattC Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 (edited) Nice simple OOB build, had a bit of repainting to do, and now I look at the pics, a little tidying and finishing, but another one on the shelf of "factory fresh" aircraft. Thanks for looking Cheers Matt Edited November 24, 2008 by MattC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caudleryan Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 That looks really good for an OOB build. I wish I could make a model OOB as good as you. RYAN. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattC Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 Good of you to say so, but I bet you can, I bet most people on ARC can make far superior models to me. The photo is a bit flattering on this one! Thanks though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

icekj Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Are you out of things to build again? Nice job on the kit, thanks for sharing it with us Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TF51GREGWISE Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 What scale? What kit?? inquiring minds would like to know. Beautiful work! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattC Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 What scale? What kit?? This is the RoG 1:72 kit, sorry I should have said. Are you out of things to build again? Not quite, I have been a little busy in the local shops. I have an RoG 1:72 Bf109G-10 on the go at the moment and a Bf110 E-1 waiting for an Aires 'pit if I can run to it next month. This La5FN is a nice little kit, although it isn't as nice to build as it looks like it should be from the sprues. The usual issues with recent RoG offerings reared their heads. Since they moved production, it seems like there is a lot more flash, a lot more moulding "evidence" and the transparencies have gone to the dogs. Still, it makes up nice. Had some colour issues but I got round them by good old fashioned bodging Cheers for your comments folks Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I am quite sure revell La-5FN is a rebox. I think model looks great! But more pictures. I have Zvezda La-5 kit in 1/48 and it is a beaty. My only prop plane in stash...Ohh, wait, i also have Ju-87 in 1/32 from hasegawa... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattC Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 Thanks everyone! Just a couple more pics as requested. Not a brilliant model I know, but I am fairly pleased with it. I don't know if this is a reboxing, it could be, and if it is, I would probably guess at Monogram or similar, as the moulding is too up to date for FROG/MB etc. Cheers Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eastern Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Wow! Matt, that prop looks awesome! Very nice build, indeed. I love pain job and markings. Cheers! Alexander. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnsan Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Looks like you did that one good, Matt. Did you use the kit's stickers? IIRC, Revell's LA-5 is a rebox of Italeri's very old kit from the mid 70's. I wouldn't blame Revell's new production site for flash and such. This is a really old kit and the molds should be showing their age. When this kit first came out, I remember there being a 'wow' factor. It was really nice compared to its comtemporaries.

MattC Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 If its that old, it must have been a real star kit back in the day! It holds up pretty well today! Yes I used the kit decals, which are (to my mind) a little oversized, but I couldn't be bothered to look for alternatives! Thanks for all your comments folks, they are most welcome and appreciated, Cheers Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aggressor Supporter Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Nice looking model there. Looks small too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
