Lavochkin La-5 in 1/72nd Scale



La-5FN

La-5FN ( Alex Ruchovsky ). "A conversion of Eduard's La-7 into an FN that is easier than one may think it is. The main job is to replace the centerplane's front part including also the wheel well area (the one from KP's FN or Maquette's La-5 can be used). I also added extra detail to the canopy, reshaped the wingtips to make them look broader, corrected the rear glazing area (where the sliding hood rails are located) and added -7 vs -5 differences, such as spinner, radiator, intake, leg covers, wheel wells, fuselage side panels. Finished as 2GIAP's Mongolskiy Arat plane."
