God, I wish. Now, if someone in Russia started building La-5FNs or La-7s, then I'd seriously start counting my pennies

I noticed it comes with "new" parachutes--no extra charge, hehe.

That plane is meaner looking than the Spitfire from the right angle.

raven the Flugwerke GmbH FW190A8/N is build after original FW documents, they also have original Focke Wulf Werknummer (prodution numbers).
It wasnt able to build it by Focke Wulf, cause Focke Wulf died in 1965 and was when i remember right bought of by the Daimler-Benz (now Daimler-Chrysler) concern.

As with the Yak, modern materials are used and the engine is a japanize license production of the BMW801, this bird is as original as the YAK.

Flug Werk are using the Ash-82FN engine in the FW 190A-8/N. This is the same engine that powered the La-5FN and La-7, which is kind of ironic.

I saw one of the recently built Yak-3's in action a couple of years ago. Very pretty!

ok:-)

but the yak looks better, the 190 looked kinda......plasticky.

as for the yak isnt the alison v12 american? on the site it said it was using the alison v12, not a japanese licensed bmw eng?

i just reckon the yak looks more like the real thing:-)

look is a thing of position,

wait till the FW190 is painted in an orignal paint scheme, add gun dummies and i thing u wont be able to say if it is 1943 build or 2001

anyway both planes are great, now i need to earn around 1 million $ to buy both and another 5 million to be able to keep em for my lifetime

P.S. the allison is a US engine

Was on Duxford airshow. They had a original YAK-3 and a plane they claimed to be YAK-11. I thought it was a La-7, because it had a radial engine and looked like a La-7. Did they have a YAK-11 with a radial engine in WWII?

Boroda · « **Reply #14 on:** July 12, 2001, 01:25:00 PM »

Yak-11 was a post-war trainer. Something like a Yak-3 airframe with a snall radial engine.
