Your nephew is gonna love that one Carlos! And who wouldn't? That is one cool "quickie"! (and you know what we say, "there's always time for a quickie!" ) Well done sir!

Re: Hobbycraft 1/48 La-5FN speed build
Congratulations, Carlos! Well done work. I was thinking about what Stuart wrote, then re-read above him to catch your reference to “old school.” I still think everyone ought to once a year build with tube glue, paint brushes and tins of paint or in Stuart’s case the reverse (Get your air brush out, if possible, Stuart!). Cheers!

Re: Hobbycraft 1/48 La-5FN speed build
Thanks to all for your kind words!
Thanks again to all of you for the kind feedback.
Mark, it was indeed great to just build something as intended by the model company and not get bogged down in alterations. Even if I did a couple very small quick ones…Duke Maddog wrote:Beautiful job Carlos! Your nephew is gonna love this! It sure feels great to just bang out an OOB build like this.
Stuart, there is certainly something to be said for that style of building! It actually leads to finishing something! Ive only built a few Russian WWII aircraft, and none in winter camo, so that is something I need to do.Stuart wrote:Fantastic build Carlos - that came out really well. Your nephew is going to love it!
I love how people keep referring to this as old school - I still build mine like that!!!
I'd totally agree with that, the Ruskies had some nice looking aircraft in WWII and the winter scheme they had on them look really nice - especially with the contrasting red stars.
Kari, the Russians did have some good looking camo. And with no upper wing markings I bet it was fairly effective in flight.KSaarni wrote:Very nice work, I like the camo a lot!

Not perfect, but good enough.Handiabled wrote:Fast but turned perfect!

The only airbrushing done was for the gloss coat before decals and the flat coat afterwards. All colors were applied with good old brushes.Medicman71 wrote:Awesome build Stik!! Did you airbrush the camo?
I dont know about the tube glue part, but I sure don’t mind doing the hand brushing part.speedgraflex wrote:Congratulations, Carlos! Well done work.

Super clean Stik. Once I get set up again I'm going to build the 109 I bought off Lyle.
Pray for me...
You aircraft guys have a super clean style I'm just digging.

Re: Hobbycraft 1/48 La-5FN speed build
Thank you Bob. This build is so clean compared to my usual style. Next one will look more appropriately used. But if you like clean aircraft, you might want to think about building some racer planes or aerobatic team types. Those are like autos with their super clean shiny finishes.Dragline wrote:Super clean Stik. Once I get set up again I'm going to build the 109 I bought off Lyle.
