LSP_Ray Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Yup! La-9 Review. FYI, I believe they offered it in a few different variations. Basta, LSP_K2, upor and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalashnikov-47 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 His kits build up very nicely. Fit is very good. I've built the MiG-9 and have an Su-7 mostly done. I have a few others. Great kits for sure. scvrobeson, upor, mkd1966 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Thank you for your purchase, feedback and support. I am sincerely glad that you have the model. Delivery time is one of the most uncontrollable points of the transaction, especially during the 11.11-Black Friday - Christmas holidays. But in my experience there is an order sent on Friday evening from Ukraine and received in the USA on Monday - and this is by regular state mail Ukrposhta and USPS.))). Now, during a pandemic, the delivery time has become a very difficult moment. Some parcels sent by me to Poland and Germany take 2 or more months! Poland directly borders on Ukraine)). As far as I understand, the main delays at present are customs and checks. Basta and mkd1966 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeroen_R90S Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Just asking -would this be a good model to build as a first all-resin kit? I'm used to the odd resin update set here and there, but have never built a full resin kit. Jeroen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 It wouldn't be too bad; it only has about 75 parts. The only challenges would be the halved tires (always a pain) and the vac canopy, but they give you two just in case. If you like it, I would also recommend the Silver Wings Yak-9 which has many more tiny parts, but is well done and has a resin clear canopy (and one piece wheels!). PS: I would also add some pins in the wing to fuselage joint on the La-9 kit for extra strength. kalashnikov-47 and jeroen_R90S 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can take some photos - that would be no problem or if you scroll up to comment from LSP Ray - he posted a review of the kit with some great photos - his review is what made my decision to purchase the kit...

Thanks Ray, after thinking long and hard I used some funds from sold off models to order a Silver Wings Yak-9. I've thought long and hard between the two and both kits seem to have their strengths and weaknesses, but eventually the Yak-9 with set-back cockpit looks just a hair better than the La-9 or 11.
