**** FINISHED: GB-53 1/48 Lavochkin La-5FN - Eastern Front

[Mainly28s]

Username: Mainly28s
First name: Olaf
Category: Beginner- OoB
Manufacturer: Zvezda
Model: Lavochkin La-5FN 4801
Scale: 1:48
Extras: Luftwaffe insignia from the spares-box, and replacement number (21). I found and ordered a set with "12" in a suitable font and colour.

I hand-painted the spiral.

Everything is brush-painted (no spray apart from the varnish-from-a-can)

My model is based on a documented captured Lavochkin La-5FN flown by Hans-Werner Lerche at Rechlin. I dug this out of my stash, as it's one of the very few Soviet aircraft that Lerche flew.
