LaGG 3, Series 2

January 16, 2020 · in Aviation · · 5 · 2K

After seeing David Lane's excellent build I thought I post my effort from 2015.
It was built OOB except for the addition of some Extra Tech seat belts.
This is the same aircraft as David's, albeit at a later time as it has the winter camouflage, the aircraft number and the cat on the tail overpainted.
The aircraft is from the 145 IAP and was flown by the ace Leonid Galchenko.

  1. Nice job Michael.
    I made mine last year and seem to remember the wings were an awful fit...lots of sanding...or maybe it was me!

    • G'day David,

      I don't remember any particular problems with the wings except for where the radiator blends into the rear fuselage. I think I had to blend the upper forward cowling in a bit.

  2. Very nice! Fun to see to LaGG's in succession - kind of motivates to find one to build!

  3. Looks great Michael. You have achieved a very realistic finish.
