Academy 12304 Lavochkin La-7 1/48 Overview

The Academy 1/48 Lavochkin La-7 Russian Ace model kit gives modellers the chance to recreate a notable Soviet fighter from World War II in fine scale. Renowned for its sturdy performance and nimble handling, the La-7 was a key aircraft over the Eastern Front. This kit reflects those proportions and lines, making it a solid pick for both display builders and history-minded collectors.

Combat Role and Authentic Details

Late in World War II, the Lavochkin La-7 earned recognition for its aerodynamic refinements and powerful engine. The full-size fighter used the Shvetsov ASh-82FN radial engine, which helped it remain competitive in aerial engagements. The model mirrors the La-7's silhouette and key features to support realistic finishes and markings.

Build Quality and Display Notes

The 1/48 scale Academy kit is aimed at builders who enjoy careful assembly. Parts are moulded to capture subtle surface detail and correct proportions, rewarding careful painting and rigging. Completed builds make strong display pieces and fit well with other World War II collections.
