Same with 190 series.
As far as I remember, La5, Spits and P51 were the only redone planes in the past.
Armoured rear cockpit glass on both La's is just wrong.........
Tail of the La5 is too thick........... (it should be no thicker than the la7's just a very slightly different shape)
Sights are too low behind the armoured glass.
Actually the lavochkins are pretty easy to skin externally because rear of the forward fuselage there are no body panels (bar the access hatch and two fuel plates in the wings). The paint work is actually on a layer of varnished wood veneer.
The lines so often depicted on the wings (over and behind the gear mounting point) cannot be seen on the finished AC
I dont think the La has been re doneduring my time here
Considering how colourfull even the blue grey la's were when two toned and guards emblems added ours is pretty boring........... as stated elsewhere I would love to see Popkovs La5FN in the MA
