1183
SOVIET WWII FIGHTER
1:48 SCALE PLASTIC KIT
intro
The Lavochkin La-5 fighter was developed from the preceeding LaGG-3. This fighter aircraft designed by the trio comprising Lavochkin,
Gorbunov, Gudkov was accepted by the Soviet armed forces in early 1941. The Klimov M-106 engine was supposed to be the powerplant for the
LaGG-3 but its development had not yet been completed and the less powerful M-105P had to be installed instead. This change influenced the
aircraft performance so badly that the LaGG-3 was replaced by the Yak-1 and Yak-7 on the production line.
Lavochkin and Gorbunov tried to improve the aircraft's performance using a more powerful engine. One of the engines available was the
double row 14 cylinder radial Shvetsov ASh-82. This engine, developed from the Wright R-1820 Cyclone and was designated for use in light
bomber aircraft. The installation into the LaGG-3 airframe was finished in the winter of 1941/42.
This improved aircraft made its maiden flight in April 1942 and aerial trials confirmed its superiority in comparison to the Yak-7. Apart from the
engine, slats were installed and the tail was redesigned. The decision to launch serial production was made in May, and the new aircraft was
known under the designation LaGG-5. The first airplanes were completed in May, and all unfinished LaGG-3 airframes were equipped with the
ASh-82 engine. Eventually, production aircraft were designated La-5, following the departure of Gudkov and Gorbunov from the design team.
First production La-5s were accepted by the 49th KIAP on August 13, 1942. The second unit to use the new fighter was the 287th IAD that
received it on August 20. The opponents of the La-5 were typically the Bf 109 F-4 and Bf 109 G-2 and the Russian airplane was inferior to them.
German fighters were more maneuverable and poor manufacturing processes influenced the La-5´s performance as well.
Aircraft development continued. The windscreen was redesigned, and the La-5F was powered by ASh-82F with improved lubrication and
cooling that helped to increase aircraft performance during take-off. Later, during August, 1943, the production of the aircraft with a cut down
spine was launched. Three factories were involved in its serial production - Zavod No. 21 in Gorky, Zavod No. 381 in Nizhny Taghil and Zavod
No. 99 in Ulan Ude.
The most powerful version was the La-5FN. It was powered by the ASh-82FN with fuel injection and offered 1560 hp. The La-5FN was equal
to its German opponents while flying below 3000 metres and inferior to the Bf 109 G and Fw 190 at altitudes over 3000 metres.
The armament was the same for the La-5, La-5F and La-5FN, and consisted of two 20mm ShVAK cannon, each with 200 rounds. Underwing
racks could carry two bombs of up to 100 kg. The direct successor of La-5FN was the La-7 that entered service in September, 1944.
úvodem
Za předchůdce La-5 je považován stíhací letoun LaGG-3. Tato stíhačka z konstrukční kanceláře vedené trojicí Lavočkin, Gorbunov, Gudkov
se do výzbroje Sovětského svazu dostala na počátku roku 1941. Původně byla konstruována pro motor Klimov M-106. Ten však nebyl
k dispozici a konstruktéři se museli spokojit s méně výkonným M-105P. Změna se samozřejmě projevila na výkonech letounu, a to natolik
negativně, že přednost ve výrobě dostaly typy Jak-1 a Jak-7.
Lavočkin s Gorbunovem se pokusili vše napravit zástavbou výkonnější pohonné jednotky. Nabízel se hvězdicový, vzduchem chlazený
hvouhvězdicový čtrnáctiválec Švecov AŠ-82. Tento motor, odvozený od amerického Wright R-1820 Cyclone a původně zamýšlený pro lehké
bombardéry, byl do draku LaGGu-3 zastavěn během zimy 1941 / 1942.
Přepracovaný letoun se dostal do vzduchu v dubnu 1942 a testy ukázaly jeho převahu nad Jakem-7. Kromě jiného motoru dostal také sloty,
přepracovány byly ocasní plochy. V květnu padlo rozhodnutí o sériové výrobě, stroj nesl označení LaGG-5. Měla začít již v červenci, přičemž
všechny dosud nekompletní draky LaGGů-3 měly dostat motory AŠ-82. Sériové stroje již nesly označení La-5, protože z konstrukční kanceláře
odešel po Gudkovovi také Gorbunov.
První stroje dostal 13. srpna 1942 49. KIAP, který působil v rámci 1. letecké armády, a 20. srpna také 287. IAD. Na konkurenci v podobě Bf 109
F-4 a Bf 109 G-2 nestačily. Zaostávaly v obratnosti, nekvalitní dílenské zpracování navíc ubíralo na výkonech.
Vývoj letounu pokračoval i nadále. Pro zlepšení výhledu z letounu byl přepracován čelní štítek překrytu kabiny. Verze La-5F dostala motor
AŠ-82F se zlepšeným mazáním a chlazením, čímž byla odstraněna výkonová omezení během startu. Později, během srpna 1943 se do výroby
dostal nový trup se sníženým hřbetem za kabinou. Sériová výroba probíhala ve všech třech továrnách, kde se La-5 montovaly – závod č. 21
(Gorkij), závod č. 381 (Nižnyj Taghil) a závod č. 99 (Ulan Ude).
Nejvýkonnější verzí byla La-5FN. Poháněl ji motor AŠ-82FN s přímým vstřikováním paliva, který dával až 1650 k. Až tato verze dokázala být
rovnocenným protivníkem německým stíhačkám. Tedy alespoň v letových hladinách do 3000 m. Ve větších výškách pak měly Bf 109 G
a Fw 190 převahu.
Všechny verze nesly stejnou výzbroj. Tvořila ji dvojice kanonů ŠVAK ráže 20 mm se zásobou 200 ran pro každý. Pod křídlo bylo možné
zavěsit dvě pumy až do hmotnosti 100 kg.
Přímým pokračovatelem byl stíhací letoun La-7, který se do výzbroje začal dostávat v září 1944.

A LA-5FN, Flown by Maj. Ivan A. Vishniakov, 171st IAP, Summer, 1944
Ivan A. Vishniakov served with the 171st IAP from May 1942 to May 1945. He finished the war as the regiment deputy CO. He destroyed 20 enemy aircraft and three
more shared. He took part in the brief war against Japan in August 1945. He was awarded the Hero of the Soviet Union on February 23, 1948. The inscription on the
fuselage 'For Oleg Koshevoy' commemerates the member of the communist underground movement, the 'Young Guard' that was active during the German occupation
in the town of Krasnodon (in present day Ukraine). Oleg Koshevoj is said to have organized many sabotage operations. In January, 1943, he was captured by the
Germans and executed on February 9. The news of the young bolshevik´s death reached Vishniakov´s unit, and the inscription was painted on all of the aircraft flown
by his flight and this unit took revenge for Koshevoy´s death.

B LA-5FN, Flown by Lt. Anatolii V. Ruzin, 159th IAP, Summer, 1944
This aircraft is said to have been flown by Capt. Likholetov, Hero of the Soviet Union and ace with 25 confirmed kills to his credit (5 more kills shared). Recent
information says that 'White 15' was piloted by Lt. Anatomy V. Ruzin, an 11 kill ace. The author of the instricption 'For Vaska and Zhora' was another pilot of the 159th IAP,
K. A. Lavrinenko. Vaska - Vasiliy S. Grechka, the Flight Leader - and Zhora - Andrey T. Vasilyev - were regiment pilots who were killed in action. During a rather short
combat career, Grechka downed 13 enemy aircraft individually and 2 more shared. Vasilyev is credited with seven individual kills and two shared. Black & white photos
are not clear and allow two interpretations of the instricption color. We offer both of them - yellow and silver.

C LA-5FN, Flown by Capt. Konstantin S. Nazimov, 254th IAP, Poland, Summer - Autumn, 1944
Konstantin S. Nazimov is among La-5 aces. The number of kills differs from source to source. The highest numbers are 24 individual kills and two shared. The tally
painted on the fuselage depicts 22 kills. From August 1944 on, Nazimov led the 2nd Eskadrila (flight) of 254th IAP (Fighter Air Regiment), but was killed in combat
on December 23, 1944. Prior to his death, on October 26, he was awarded with Gold Star of the Hero of the Soviet Union. The color of the spinner could be white as well
as aluminium.

D LA-5FN, Flown by P. Rakov, Summer, 1944
La-5FN with the fuselage number 8 was flown by P. Rakov. Unfortunately, the unit, place and date are not known. The camouflage colors are typical for Soviet fighter
aircraft used during second half of WWII. The uppersides were sprayed with AMT-11 blue-gray and AMT-12 dark gray and the undersides were covered with AMT-7 light
blue. The fuselage number seems to be slightly darker in vintage picture and was yellow or silver. The fuselage star outline is depicted as yellow in some sources but the
darker shade is caused by low-quality white paint.

Two-time Hero of the Soviet Union Capt. Kirill A. Evstigneev is credited with 53 indiviual kills with three shared. All the kills were achieved at the controls of the La-5.
He entered combat on March 17, 1943 and his first victim, a Bf 109, hit the ground on March 28. The end of WWII saw him as CO of 178th GIAP (Guards Fighter Air
Regiment) over Hungary. His military career continued after the war, and Evstigneev retired as a Major General. Photos of Evstigneev and this aircraft were taken when
he was awarded his second HSU, and the ceremony was held on February 23. The dedication inscription says 'From co-op farmer Vasiliy Viktorovich Konev'.
