It is La-7, not La-5...see the

- wheel bays shape,

- oil cooler bay (La-5 has it located under the nose)

- intakes in wing root

all is definitely typical for La-7 :-)

BTW: If you prefer La-5, Silverwing announced it for this or next year.

OK correction done. Thanks.

Very nice! I still want one, and I'm still doubtful I can afford one. Nonetheless, it's great to see one of the best piston-engined fighters of the end of the war finally get the treatment in 1/32nd scale. The La-7 was almost unbeatable at low altitudes, with the possible exception of the Yak-3, another great Soviet fighter.

Regards,

Jason
