1:144 Lagg-3 – Zvezda 6118

The Lagg-3 was the core fighter plane to be used by the Soviet Union during the 1941-1943 period. Although resilient to enemy fire it was generally disliked by both pilots and ground crew alike because it had a sensible engine that would choke and under perform right in the middle of a firefight.

Assembly Process

I actually forgot to take pictures of the assembly process, but that is just because it is so easy to actually assemble it. Instead I’m going to present to you the assembly manual.

Evaluation

Plastic Quality 4 (Good) Hard plastic however be careful with the tail.
Number of Details 4.5 (Very Good) Excellent for 1/144 scale.
Instructions 5 (Perfect) Instructions are easy and self explanatory.
Building Time 5 (Perfect) Under 10 minutes.
Enjoyment 4.5 (Very Good) Not much to be said about it.

As usual with the Zvezda 1/144 airplane kits they are excellent little gems easy to assemble and cheap to boot! It actually crossed my mind to start playing small skirmish dogfight wargames using this range.
