lfbpro, I beleive I sent you more of an La-7 than an La-5. I had the book in front of my and I just went by the plane's name as opposed to actually look at my book. If you go for a La-7, you'll probably have a lot less canopy work.

They have a few more Il-2 shots there. I give the graphics an OMFG rating, the highest there is.

humm...it looks more like a La-5 rather than a La-7 but the first one was just areodynamically cleaned up compared with the second one,the most obvious change being relocation of the supercharger duct in the left wing root.
Btw thxs again,as soon as i do something new i keep you in touch.

Canopy wise the model I sent looks like a La-7 . That picture is of IL-2's La-7, which is what got me thinking... You'll do fine, just ask a bunch of questions.
