176 GIAP La-7
« on: February 25, 2015, 04:38:51 AM »
This 176 GIAP La-7 was one of six filmed from an Il-2 between 10-20 April 1945 during the battle for Berlin. Unusually these aircraft had had their original distruptive camouflage overpainted in AMT-12 dark grey.

The photo this skin is based on can be seen here in this Soviet Warplanes Forum thread.

Very nice!
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

the only advantage the LA5 had over the La7 was the LA7 didn't have a greebo skin. this advantage has been lost and there was much rejoicing among the dweebs and I rejoiced with them :)
