La-5 Early Clear prop

Album image #1
That was complicated build. If you look the kit on the sprues is very nice, the detalies are awsome, but the build is like the old amodel kits. The wing to body joint is to thight must cuted or sanded to fit properly. The engine deck for the cockpit windshield is smaler than the body diameter so the two fuselage part must be sanded... And the biggest problem for me was that I couldn't understand how it is possible. It was a testbuild or not? The sliding canopy was almost 2 mm bigger than the place so again sanding and cuting. But luckly it is history now.
