La-9 never entered action in WWII, too late to see service (1947)

T0J0s were never fitted with 20mm cannons

btw here's La-9 with pictures, enjoy :)

Amazing how much that La-9 looks (abit) like the P-40 :aok

We already have it, it's called the La7.

Plus I think La9 is post war.

Looks like they scabbed a radiator intake off a P51 onto it.  Knowing the Soviets they probably did.  Did they get any lend-lease Mustangs?  I'd like to see one in Soviet colors.

By the way,  That last picture is definately the best.

From what I remember, they got samples of almost everything (P47, P38, P51, plus the usual lend-lease P40, P39 etc), except for the P-80.

I too would love a Russian and Japanese plane. Though I was thinking more along the lines of D4Y (Judy, Judy, Judy) and Yak-9UT (37mm of lovin').

Here is a pic of one of the P-47 delivered to the VVS through Lend-Lease.

Haven't ever seen one of a P-51 that I can remember.
