Nice paint job on such a small model. Gary

Bojan Bogdanovic
Thank you all.
Well, Soeren, the kit it self is O.K. It is poor with details so, with a little patience, it's not that hard to build it. But the plastic was somewhat bad. I tried to prime it with a grey enamel paint (Revell) dissolved with a little nitro, but the plastic got soft and started "waving" so I stopped, waited for the color to dry, sanded it again to flatten the "waves" and started the whole process but very very carefully with very thin layers of color. After the primer dried, the rest was "by the book".
So, my suggestion is to use acrylic primer. 🙂
Oh, I almost forgot. You can also build a new exhaust covers from an aluminium can. It's very easy to do.
Good luck and can't wait to see the results.😉

Great thx for this Information. Yeah i will use Vallejo primer then but dont expect much because it will be my first real kit after many many years 🙂

Alberto Bianchi
Bravo! 👍

Bravo Boki! Trebao je ovaj u Sofiju da ode...

Soeren R.
Thx Bojan. Was asking because I'm gonna use Gunze and wanted to ask about the colours, but so i need to research then😉

Bojan Bogdanovic
Hvala, Bane. Ponećemo ga sledeće godine.😉

Bojan Bogdanovic
Soeren, here (eduard.com/store/out/media/1183.pdf) you can find Eduard instructions for coloring their La-5FN using gunze colors. I hope it can be useful to you. 😉

Soeren R.
Yeah found that yesterday too! Thanks 🙂 Its not always easy to say which colour you need then comparing to revell etc.
