Gallery Article by Jinoo Koo on June 8 2010

 

This is the Lavochikin La-7 Russian fighter.  It's almost entirely made of wood materials like any other Russian fighters.

I think that Russian fighters have concise shape and function in WWII.

The field car is from Tamiya and the figures are from ICM and Eduard.

I'm not sure of the accurate camouflage colour of Russian fighters.  I just painted by dark gray and light gray.

Nose art (decals from AeroMaster) is Dragon (It's tail is used to tan marks), but the pilot is unknown.
