Marek Marathon 1/50 La-5

[Don Boose]

Glen -- I am definitely interested in hearing more about the future work on the "Ermine."

And I am thoroughly enjoying watching all these Marek models being built, even if my own progress is very very very slow. I own most of the 1/50 models being built and some of the 1/33s and expect to build many of them over the next several months. Not just the Japanese aircraft, but also the three Russian 1/50 fighters, the LaGG, this La-5, and the Yak-3, which are all airplanes that appeal to me.

Incidentally, although I should enter it properly in the Birding Fun thread, I have to mention that we had a rose-breasted grosbeak at the feeder this afternoon. First back yard sighting in several years.

I'm thinking about the La5 Wak has did Carl do a build thread on that one?
Seems I recall one, but not sure.
Amazing as it may sound, today we had our first Black-headed grosbeak of the year at the feeder, which is the Western counterpart to yours! Today! We do see them all season, but the feeder is dominated by a flock of Red wings today, although the Song sparrow and the chipmunk like that, (they spill alot on the ground).

Nice job! (not surprisingly ).

Thank you Barry! Dan, thanks as well, was a fun build. Seems easier smaller scale for some reason, maybe the comparatively thicker card per size model?

Looks like you know what you are doing! Nice job!
P.S. Smaller is better!! (for card models that is lol).
