I wanted to get this one done so I could try to decide on what to do next. I winged it without some small parts or directions; it's been moved around a few times over a few months and some stuff got lost.

I was having WAY too much fun dirtying it up........

Is that Khozedub's (sp?) markings on that Lavochkin? Great looking model, btw.
Derek

I believe they are Lt. Colonel S.F. Dolgushin's.

I had to fudge the tail markings, the original decal just didn't want to work for me. I "borrowed" the star from my son's Academy MiG-29 Fulcrum kit.

I'l try to post a pic of the proper look later today.

Edit to add:

Never mind. The all-powerful Wurger got it for me! (Thanks, Wurger)

Yep, that's the kit.

I can see also where some of the parts go that I didn't have the directions for........

You'r welcome Tom. Glad to see a such nice model made by you.:D

BTW... Please don't forget about these silver metal brackets on the engine cowling.
 
Your'e right, it does look better with the cowling bands colored.........

It seems that the reason for that was the same.All straight engines were needed for other aircraft at that moment.

Yep.. she looks really better Tom. :thumbright:
