Hi folks! Well....less and less free time but never left!  Some pictures of the updates. I puttied the radiator ... and not only that, but a good chunk of the fuselage! Too noticeable the dip of the previous filling, of which I had not noticed before ...   In the same time I started the build of hood and windshield templates which I will use next for a vac-u-form copy of them....    future updates on these channels .... who knows when ....  Ciao! Marco |

Hi guys, some new fatures to my LaGG-3: tail, rudder and ailerons. I must to modify the tail for better arrangement in position and shape:   The jig to set correctly the stabilizer:   Ailerons, elevators and rudder:  It looks more and more to a LaGG-3....   Bottom side of elevators and trims actuators:  Next steps will be windshield and water cooler frontal interior deflector. The windshield it is giving me a lot of headaches for its construction.... It is not so simple. I hope to get a good ideas for its scratchbuild.... Stay tuned! Ciao. Marco |

Hi guys, when I will end the LaGG I wish to reproduce the white 44 of the 44 IAP as per Masimo Tessitori table about this airplane: http://mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/lagg3/44iap/44iap44.htmlCould you confirm undersurfaces parts was light blue AII, please? I will use the White Ensign Models AII blue for WW2 Soviet VVS. You think is a good color or there are others better? Many thanks for you replies! Ciao! Marco |

Hi Marco,
I'm reasonably sure about the use of AII blue. I don't know how is the paint of White ensign Model.
Ciao
Massimo

Hi Markino, Nice work on your Lagg. Here's what Colourcoat paints look like.   This South Front Lagg was built around 2007, in my Pilawski period using Colourcoats enamels. It's painted in Colourcoat AII Green, AII/AMT Black over AII Blue. Hoping this help. All the best. Jean |

Hi guys, many thanks for your replies! Jean beautifull kit! Congratulations! Useful, of course! My LaGG will have the complete canopy....I will realize it before the hood removing You know some match between Blue AII (AKAN 342) and Federal Standard code? Or where can I find some correspondence? Ciao! Marco |

Hi Massimo, many thanks for your reply. I made some color chips for test with colors I had and I compared them with Federal Standards colors chart. As shows in picture below neither WEM AII blue nor Humbrol 65 have not match the correct color if compared with blue FS 35526...   Next time I will test with Gunze H67 and Tamiya XF23 (I bought them and I wait they arrive to me by mail) to try to find the color most similar to FS 35526. In his book Pilawsky gives as closest color FS 35466 (as shows in picture). what is your opinion about it? Ciao! Marco |

Hi Marco,
this is strange, it doesn't resemble to AKAN chip too.
My idea of AII light blue is in the range of 35450 or 35488 (they appear different on my real fs catalogue than on your photo on my screen, that shows them more violet). Orlov describes the color as saturate, not greyish, and this is not consistent with fs 35526. Perhaps he had a wrong chip when he wrote this early article, or a faded one.
Recovered wrecks of early Pe-2s seem to show grey undersurfaces instead of the expected blue A-18f. Perhaps their blue pigments were subject to lose their color.
Pieces of MiG-3s and LaGG-3s in Veesiveehma appear more greyish than expected for AII blue.
My idea is that the color should be less greenish than 65, a bit darker and a bit more saturate. Of course, I didn't see the real one, but only the AKAN chip.
Regards
Massimo
