At this moment I have finished two aircraft models, and an "universal" pilot figure.
I selected this fighter for my first model because of its small number of outer details, especially of riveted metal panels. When I was starting this project, in 2006, I did not know what kind of obstacles I will find during this process. Thus I chosen this simple La-5 to ensure, that I will finish it, anyway.
Of course, there are plenty of details inside the cockpit – but I already had some experience, when I started to model these small parts.
I have finished another model: P-40B. The progress of this work was slow, because I documented every step in an e-book "Virtual Airplane".

The "side effect" of other projects - an universal (for the USAAC/USAAF machines, at least!) model of a pilot. Import it into your cockpit!
