Hello all, I'm a French plastic modeler and I would like to build the Vicente Beltran (Spanish Republican pilot) La-5. I found an illustration in the Osprey of the Aces Nr 56 but I would like to know what could you tell me about this aircraft ? So, another question, what kind of P-39 is here to represent a Gulaev aircraft: http://sovietwarplanes.com/board/index.php?topic=269.0Is it a P-39N or a P-39Q with pods removed (like Rechkalov aircraft ?) ? This building is in my future projects too. Thank you in advance, best regards St?phane

Hello,
I'm back after a long period spent for my son, my job and modeling kits too... I continue my old post to ask a question about camo scheme of Vincente Beltran La-5 "white 84"... What is the most probable colors for the camo scheme: AMT4, AMT6 and AMT7 or a green with dark green and light blue ? Please, I need your advice.
TIA, best regards Steph

Hi Steph, well this decoration is very original, I never see it before! Is there any pics of the plane? What did you think about doing the decals? take a look at the web site to see the work Massimo done about the La-5; go inside each part, you will find a plenty of informations: http://mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/la5/la5.html#cowlingI imagine that your plane was paint in AMT4/AMT6 (green black) All the La-5 I seen were painted like that, exepting the white painted... It had to be like this one of the 88 guard fighter regiment, I also imagine the lightning could be white instead of yellow French modeler? in which forum do you post ? with which nickname? Xan ps:Tout comme Apex, je parle fran?ais tu peux me contacter par MP.

Hi Steph,
Use of AMT-4 and 6 was ordered almost at the time of Barbarossa and since La-5 enty in service was somewhere in 1942 they were painted per government's instructions; AMT-4, 6 and 7.
State of the art research shows that AII green and Dark Green did not exists. There was a AII Green called AII Zashch. (zashchitnyi) that was a gloss camouflage green. There was also AII (svetlo goluboi) that was a gloss light blue for undersides. Both were in use between 1937-1941.
Esp?rant que ?a aide.
Jean

A small correction: AII Light Blue was in use 1940-1941. It was used for undersides of planes painted according to May 1940 directive (solid "Protective" green top) and for planes painted according to 1941 camouflage directive (AMT-4, AMT-6 top). Cheers, KL

hi every body, Steph told me by PM he was not sure the inscription of the beltran La-5 was really wroten in spanish. I find quite strange the inscription : "Viva la revolution socialista en S.S.S.R." logicaly, it had to be: "Viva la revolucion socialista en U.R.S.S."

Hello, Thank you both for your answer. The color is definitively AMT4-6-7. Here are the 2 options regarding this aircraft (pictures found on the web, I think the first is from a Polish book (Ajaks), the second one from Osprey book). Text in Russian...? or text in Spanish...? But like Xan said, why isn't written URSS (Uni?n de Rep?blicas Socialistas Sovi?ticas in Spanish) ? TIA, regards St?ph

Hi, according to Orlov, the AII light blue was utilized even after 1941 in parallel with AMT-7. In parallel with the AMT-7 was used the old dope for a second cover EN Sv.gol. - light-blue colour. The colour of it - really a light-blue, lighter than the AMT-7, almost without shades of gray. Academy of St. Nakraski goal. Albom in 1948 not because by this time it is no longer used, but retained the earlier archival specimens and the remains of the shell of the emergency aircraft. Regards Massimo

Text about Spanish pilots in VVS was published in Aviatsiya i vremya magazine No 2002-03 http://lib.rus.ec/b/206139/readProfiles that appeared there are unreliable. Artist S. Vahrushev is now well known for his illustrations for the new book about Korean war Mig-15s (again mostly made up). IMHO, Beltran's La-5 is not well documented and all profiles are result of artis's guesswork. KL
