Title: provisional updates to LaGG-3 page Post by: Massimo Tessitori on October 07, 2005, 11:12:04 PM Hi,
I've uploaded three provisional files on LaGG-3. They are not yet linked by the menus. Could you have a look and let me know any suggestions, please? They should be accessible at http://mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/lagg3/structure/structure.htm http://mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/lagg3/chkalow04/chkalow04.htm http:// mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/lagg3/lagg3-37/lagg3-37.htm Please let me know any comment, including corrections to grammar errors, additions to text and images and so on. I think to link these pages from the main menus within few days. Audrius, do you remember the names of the books from which the images were taken please? Massimo Title: Re: fixed links Post by: JP on October 08, 2005, 09:35:47 AM Well, first thing is to post the right links!? ?:D
The first link works. The second link should be http://mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/lagg3/chkalow04/chkalow04.html The third link should be http://mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/lagg3/lagg3-37/lagg3-37.htm The pages look nice.? I'll read the text and give you any suggestions in a message later.? Good work, Massimo!

you're right, two links were wrong. Now they are functioning. Massimo Title: Re: provisional updates to LaGG-3 page Post by: JP on October 09, 2005, 09:14:37 AM As usual, Massimo, excellent work on those beautiful profiles. You really are something of an artist with those things!
Title: Re: provisional updates to LaGG-3 page Post by: Massimo Tessitori on October 09, 2005, 10:15:03 PM Thank you John.
Now I would any suggestion to improve/correct/extend the work. How is the grammar? Best regards Massimo Title: Re: provisional updates to LaGG-3 page Post by: Audrius on October 10, 2005, 07:55:27 AM hi Massimo,
Nice work as always! Audrius, do you remember the names of the books from which the images were taken please? You gave in the page the correct link. All this comes from a brochure of series "Aviakolektsiya" (Aviacollection)- "Istrebitel Lagg-3" (Figther Lagg-3) by M.V. Orlov and N.V. Yakubovich. Both quite known already by other publications. Regarding the profile of Lagg-3-K37 You have posted the profile with camo. I would think would be wise to post as well the uniform painting profile as well as this would be most reasonable having in mind those time camo regulation etc. Let be both profiles with the enquire to discussion and oppinion exchane until we are not sure which one is the correct. That's my IMHO. BR Audrius Title: Re: provisional updates to LaGG-3 page Post by: Massimo Tessitori on October 10, 2005, 05:38:46 PM Hi Audrius, :)
thank you for your suggestion, I'll show both variants. Do you remember or know the names of the Russian and German books from which were obtained the illustrations on the structural drawings, please? ???

Do you remember or know the names of the Russian and German books from which were obtained the illustrations on the structural drawings, please? ??? Not 100% sure, but IMHO it was from "Technical describtion of aircraft's construction", Russian edition. BR Audrius Title: Re: provisional updates to LaGG-3 page Post by: Massimo Tessitori on October 16, 2005, 12:29:04 PM Hi,
the updates to LaGG-3 page are online now. Massimo Title: Re: provisional updates to LaGG-3 page Post by: Clare on October 17, 2005, 08:06:05 PM Great looking profiles Massimo. As an avid (although slow) 1/72 builder, I was wondering if anyone will be producing after market decals of some of those interesting inscription markings like the one on the latest LaGG-3.
Clare Title: Re: provisional updates to LaGG-3 page Post by: Massimo Tessitori on October 17, 2005, 09:30:55 PM Hi Clare, :)
a friend had some contacts for this. There is some hope. Massimo Title: updates to the LaGG-3 structure page Post by: Massimo Tessitori on October 22, 2005, 08:55:15 AM Hi,
I've uploaded a further structural drawing of wings with measures on the LaGG-3 structure page. Thanks to AR. :) Massimo Title: Re: provisional updates to LaGG-3 page Post by: Massimo Tessitori on November 25, 2005, 09:52:50 PM Hi, :)
I've updated the page on LaGG-3-37 recently. I've added a pair of profiles, and made slight modifies on existing ones. Massimo Title: Re: provisional updates to LaGG-3 page Post by: Massimo Tessitori on March 25, 2008, 07:57:37 AM Hi, :)
I've added 3 new profiles to the page of captured and wrecked LaGG-3s. http://mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/lagg3/captured/captured.htm (http://mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/lagg3/captured/60-460lprt.jpg) (http://mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/lagg3/captured/69lprt.jpg) (http://mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/lagg3/captured/banded21lprt.jpg) Besides, 3 previous profiles were corrected to fit the photos, that show the characteristics of very early production planes. Please, let me know any suggestion. Massimo Title: Re: provisional updates to LaGG-3 page Post by: John Thompson on March 25, 2008, 03:20:53 PM Beautiful work, Massimo! Thank you! :)

thank you for your kind words. Massimo Title: Re: provisional updates to LaGG-3 page Post by: Apex1701 on March 26, 2008, 03:32:47 AM Well done Massimo!
Jean Title: Re: provisional updates to LaGG-3 page Post by: Massimo Tessitori on November 10, 2009, 10:41:59 PM Hi,
I've uploaded a new profile of LaGG-3 silver 71. Massimo Title: Re: provisional updates to LaGG-3 page Post by: Massimo Tessitori on January 27, 2010, 11:06:29 PM Hi,
I've: uploaded a page with scale drawings of LaGG-3 early type comparing the planes made by different factories; uploaded a pair of new photos of plane n.20 of 44 IAP and corrected some lines in the camouflage of my profile; uploaded the photos of the model of Yak-3VK-107 of Bert Andermann. All those pages are accessile from http://mig3.sovietwarplanes.com (http://mig3.sovietwarplanes.com) Massimo Title: Re: provisional updates to LaGG-3 page Post by: Massimo Tessitori on April 02, 2010, 07:58:51 AM Hi,
I've added two more profiles of LaGG-3 with skis and related photos. The new images are at the end of the page. Thanks to John and AR. (http://mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/lagg3/ski/ski.htm) Massimo. Title: Re: provisional updates to LaGG-3 page Post by: John Thompson on April 02, 2010, 04:38:35 PM Impressive work, as usual, Massimo! I'm still always amazed when I see several photos of the same aircraft taken at different times, like this LaGG-3 "Blue 41", or the well-known I-16 type 28 "White 301 (307?)". It's surprising because it seems as if every Wehrmacht soldier had a camera with him during Operation Barbarossa, and plenty of time to take photographs with it. You'd think they were on a vacation, instead of fighting a war! The other thing that surprises (and delights!) me is that, even now, almost 70 years later, these photographs continue to be discovered. What else is out there, still hidden in some attic or basement? Amazing!

Martin Title: Re: provisional updates to LaGG-3 page Post by: Massimo Tessitori on April 04, 2010, 05:34:30 PM Hi John and Martin,
thank you for the compliments. By the way, I was looking at the photos of I-16 n.301 or 307 yesterday. I wonder if it is the same plane, in some photos appears destroyed, in some other ones is intact. Have an happy Easter Massimo |
