Friday. Needing another Soviet aircraft to accompany my Sturmovik I went rummaging for the fighter (was it a YAK or a Lavochkin?) I was convinced was in stock. Either my search skills or memory were at fault though, as I couldn't find such a thing. The internet responded well to the challenge and this Italeri LA-5 kit arrived on the Friday.
Saturday. The following day I built the thing. It wasn't a challenging buildSunday. I spray painted the ensemble green.
Monday. Painted camo and details.
Tuesday. Applied decals and varnish.
Wednesday. Used it in a game! more on the game coming soon.
Added 20/12/17 - last Wednesday John A presented me with an old kit of an LA-7 he had stumbled upon. Expect to see it soon....

Fast work Tim, looks the part too.
Cheers,

Nice job
I have kits that have been waiting decades for their turn to be built
What's with the German markings?
Produced in the same haste as one of the originals. Excellent!
Regards, Chris.

Thanks. I normally like kits to mature for a few years before I set about them.

The Luftwaffe markings are for a captured example. All the more for the decal box...
