EAW Lavochkin Lagg5 / La-5 

This plane has common black and green type camouflage from an anonymous Soviet V.V.S. unit in late 1942 - early 1943. A unit that was either fighting around Leningrad or over the Gulf of Finland flew it. 

This model represents the first version of the Lavochkin fighter line. It was developed from the unsuccesful Lagg-3 fighter that had an inline engine. The Lagg-3 airframe was adapted to use the M-82 radial engine, which had considerably more power. I twas originally called the Lagg 5 but the designation was soon changed to the La-5.

I developed this version from my previous La-5FN model. The principal difference is the razorback fuselage instead of a bubble canopy and slightly different nose air intake. I started the original project from the old PAW Ki84 3DZ model. Very little is left of that.  There are also new 3DZ files for distance view models, a new shadow, and the fuselage and tail are now non-mirroring as well.  It is intended for use with Charles Gunst's ECAPanel, using the Typhoon slot. Fly it in Emil's "Caucuses Campaign" add-on.

I had some big help to resolve some early 3dz problems and when running it in Glide, from Charles Gunst, Geo, and Steve Day. 

Steve Day did the skins for the previous La5FN and La7 models. I used his work as the basis for the skin I developed for this plane. Thank you Steve! This skin is 3dfx compatible. 

The cockpit was originally done by Stefan Wikstrom (Hynkel) for the older pseudo La5s (PAW Ki-84 based). It has been adapted with new wing view to work with this model.

To use just install the TPC and 3DZ files into your EAW folder.

Cheers,

Captain Kurt
