hey thanks lyric, is that enough evidence to make a skin out of?
Any idea what the inscription inside the white diamond on the cowl says?
Apparently it's the FN logo, doesn't appear on normal La-5 aircraft, so in a way it is an engine badge."La-5 in Action" draws it up like this:(Image removed from quote.)
Nice, thanks for tracking that info down. Think I'd like to gve this skin a try. Which is correct - the red spinner or the gray? I'm curious too, in the B&W photo of the pilot, aircraft #52 is in the background - but I thought #52 was his aircraft?
If you look at the aircraft in the picture on the far left & back the cowling & spinner both appear to be the same colour & light? Yellow maybe?
slightly different print of the same pic, with a better view of 52. I don't know enough about VVS colours to say (don't even know why i have these pics). It's certainly not the same as the red in the star, but it could maybe be an orange-y shade like on the second profile posted? My guess though is that both cowling and spinner are the same yellow.(Image removed from quote.)
