**** DONE: GB-53 1/72 Lavochin La-5FN - Eastern Front

[Jock Tamson]

Hello Folks

Time for a quick update. Paint is on although I am dubious as to its accuracy. Revell give mixing instructions for the tones, and I'm colour blind so don't shoot the messenger, so to speak! The underside is very questionable but again I'm being guided by Revell.

Thanks for looking, cheers Greg

Nicely done Greg.

Colours look great on this side of the Globe

Looks great! The upper colors are great fit in my opinion. The underside is too light, I think, unless this is a special paint for this specific aircraft. I am not sure if this will be useful but it should be close to FS-25190.

If you have Tamiya colors, 1 part xf-8 blue flat + 10 parts xf-82 ocean grey would be a close equivalent. I see that you have Revell aqua colors. I think xf-8 is like 36156 and xf-82 is very close to 36149. I think you can even use 36149 alone.

Regardless, great looking Lavochkin!

Thanks to you all for the kind comments I reckon I'll have this finished by the weekend.

Cheers Greg

With Wayne on that. Useful info on the underside colour if and when I get back to my Yak 3.
