GB-53 1:48 LaGG-3 - Eastern Front

[roman64krawczyk]

This is such a simple kit, like "No moving parts"
I may be starting on the skis Before I finish the B-17??????????
Then fits and gaps showed their ugly heads!!!!!!
I whittled down the pilot seat, just too heavy for my liking.

Hello. I don't know if it's too late to adjust the seat. He needs to be improved.

So much information..............!
Real helpful to say the least.......

 

[N4521U]

Worked on the seat back and head rest for a few minutes this morning.
Not as neat as the above but!

 

[Wurger]

Looking good.

 

[T Bolt]

That looks really nice Bill.
Would the seat on the La5-NF look the same as it was developed from the LaGG-3?

 

[Wurger]

Yes it looked almost the same.

Nice Bill. Looks like an executive's office chair.

The AIRES made a such seat for all the La-5 variants .. 1/48 Lavochkin La-5/La-5F/La-5FN

I'd have to get the cushion Under the seatbelts!!!!

 

[Wurger]

Knowing the Stalin's and NKVD policy I would say not all pilots deserved the cushion.

 

[Wayne Little]

Done alright there Bill.

 

[Gnomey]

Nicely done so far Bill!

So last night, very early this morning, one ski!
1. Starts out as pvc bar stock, 6mm wide.
2. Chopped up pieces glued together.
3. A paper pattern to mark out on the bottom of 2.
4, Filed, sanded then some more.
Now to the Other one, mirrored.

So this is the result of the above post.
Except the tail ski has been constructed!
Of course the long Pipes will be trimmed.
And the detail has been slightly abbreviated.
