This is one of my favorite Soviet Paint Schemes that will never see a light of day due to the tooling absence:



Georgiy Kostylev despite being 13-ranking VVS ace with 43 individual and 3 group kills spent his war fighting against the best Luftwaffe had to offer being known as the scourge of Grunherz among his comrades.

I like the art work on the cowl.
Is that a Lavochkin ?

Yep, La-5. If anyone is interested in exploits of VVS during WWII, Osprey published three objective books on this subject full of good looking paint schemes and brief history:

Soviet Aces of World War 2 (Osprey Aircraft of the Aces #15)

LaGG and Lavochkin Aces of World War II (Osprey Aircraft of the Aces #56)

Yakovlev Aces of World War II (Osprey Aircraft of the Aces #64)

Nice! Thanks for showing this one.

That La-5 is spectacular -- come on Hobby Master, what do you say?

[wmosner]

IXO is the best bet to make the La-5.

[PappyB]

Probably right, but all the more reason to hope for HM

[no4mkit]

Excellent choice Sergey - probably the best scheme on any of the Lavochkin's!

I personnaly have never been very attracted by big mouthes on planes.
