Very nice. The last answer, however, is they are sorting custom skin implementation out right now.

Awesome. I would prefer it without the 77 but it looks great either way!

 did i made an historical bug ? sorry I Though it was a La-5.

If not,  it looks closed to a la-5. should be interresting how you can see difference between la-5 and la-7 with the pic up ? 

Do you mind teach us a bit please. only because of that skin ?

 

oh maybe i see: is it this airflow system  just under the flaps ? Oh yes : and the canopy is not the same at the back

 

I apologize.

The easiest way to tell apart is the air intake on the 5 is on top of the cowl and on the 7 it's on the bottom of the fuselage under the cockpit and the cooler under side at the leading edge is removed on the La-7. In your photo above it looks like it is there but those are actually the center section gear doors

The LA-7 got metal wings also, didn't it ? La-5 had wood wings

I believe the La-7 upgraded to just a metal spar. It wasn't till the La-9 that it became an all metal aircraft and with the improved wing they got rid of the leading edge slats.

Who did the three view line drawings? They are pretty nice.

I wish I could give due credit for the line drawings but I just got them off the web and can't find any reference to the talented person. :(
