La-5 engine cowling correction set 1:72 (Quinta Studio) A printed resin correction set for the engine cowlings for the La-5 kit from Zvezda in 1:72 scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
A printed resin correction set for the engine cowlings for building the Soviet fighter Lavochkin La-5 in 1:72 scale from the Russian brand Quinta Studio. Correction means that the set is not just there to add detail but to put the shape right: it replaces the plastic engine cowlings with more accurate parts. The box states the La-5 kit from Zvezda as the target. This is an accessory, not an aircraft model.
The Lavochkin La-5 was one of the most important Soviet fighters of the Second World War. It came about when the designers fitted the powerful Shvetsov radial engine into the airframe of the not very successful LaGG-3, which gave the aircraft both speed and climb and at a stroke made it an equal match for the German fighters. The structure remained largely wooden, which was an advantage in Soviet conditions, because production did not draw on scarce aluminum.
Printed resin parts are hard and brittle, so handle them carefully. Wash them first in warm soapy water, so that any print residue disappears from the surface and the paint holds. Cut the supports off with a saw or a cutting disc, never with sprue nippers. Sand the mating surface flat and glue the parts with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue) or with epoxy, because cement for plastic will not hold here. Wear a respirator when sanding, or sand wet.
This is an add-on for a model, not a kit. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
