An injection-molded plastic kit of the Lavochkin La-7 fighter in the small scale of 1:144 from the Czech maker Mark I. The boxing focuses on machines operated by the Czechoslovak Air Force, where the aircraft carried the domestic designation S-97. The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted.
The La-7 was a Soviet single-engine fighter from the last phase of the Second World War, developed out of the La-5FN. It was powered by the air-cooled Shvetsov ASh-82FN radial engine, the fuselage structure combined wood with metal and the armament was made up of cannon in the forward section. Against its predecessor the aircraft received an aerodynamically cleaned-up fuselage, revised radiators and a lightened structure, which showed in its agility and speed at low and medium altitudes. After 1945 machines of this type entered the inventory of the Czechoslovak Air Force and served there under the designation S-97.
The 1:144 scale means small parts and very tight tolerances - work with thin cement for plastic applied by capillary action and with tweezers, not with thick cement from a tube. Sand the seams carefully so as not to lose the fine engraving. It pays to mask the canopy with strips of mask or with a decal; brush painting shows at this scale. Before the decals, go over the area with a gloss varnish, otherwise silvering will appear under them, and once dry unify the surface with a matte varnish. Keep the weathering restrained: at 1:144 it is enough to suggest, not to draw.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
