Title: some updates Post by: Massimo Tessitori on June 30, 2006, 10:12:00 PM Hi, :)
I've uploaded the review by Michael on Il-2 of Zvezda and updated the interview to Tikhomirov by Oleg Korytov. Some photos of models will be uploaded in next days. Massimo Title: Re: some updates Post by: Massimo Tessitori on September 06, 2006, 11:26:22 PM Hi, :)
I've uploaded two works on the LaGG-3 page made by Basil and Paul Berstesky and the photos of the I-4 of Mark Brown. Massimo Title: Re: some updates Post by: Massimo Tessitori on October 30, 2006, 07:52:16 PM Hi, :)
I've updated the page on colorized photos with 5 new additions. Massimo Title: Re: some updates Post by: TISO on November 13, 2006, 02:16:10 PM Massimo.
Could you please provide link to Yak-2/4 section of your page? Better still could you include it in your page? I lost it and on VVS forum hot topic dealing with this planes does not exist anymore. Title: Re: some updates Post by: Massimo Tessitori on November 14, 2006, 10:23:16 AM Hi Tiso, :)
the link is http://mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/yak-2-4/index.htm At present time, the page is not ready: I have to restart to work on it. My model is stopped too. Doesn't the topic exist anymore? Who knows why? Massimo Title: Re: some updates Post by: Marcin Widomski on November 23, 2006, 01:23:24 AM Hi there
Massimo, something for you from a fresh doctor of technical science ;): (http://images3.fotosik.pl/258/da9e047f91fc8a45m.jpg) (http://www.fotosik.pl/pokaz_obrazek/da9e047f91fc8a45.html) I have also a copy without my name on it. You may use it freely on your site. Title: Re: some updates Post by: Massimo Tessitori on November 24, 2006, 06:41:46 AM Thank you very much, Doctor. :) :)
My compliments for you! :) :) Massimo Title: Re: some updates Post by: Massimo Tessitori on December 07, 2006, 06:24:41 PM Hi, :)
I've updated the page of Eskadrilya Valeriy Chkalow with 3 new profiles of La-5. It's likely that some new ones will be drawn in next future too. Please, let me know any suggestion. Massimo Title: Re: some updates Post by: KSL on December 14, 2006, 10:38:55 AM Hi Massimo!
I for a long time could not decide what painting scheme to choose for mine La-5 (Vector 1/48) ???. Now I can say that it'll definitely be # 58. I think that I'll make it for christmas holidays. Thanks :)! Sergey. Title: Re: some updates Post by: Massimo Tessitori on December 14, 2006, 07:19:52 PM Hi Sergey, :)
I'm happy that you like it. Please, post a photo of your model when ready. Massimo Title: Re: some updates Post by: Massimo Tessitori on December 27, 2006, 12:00:32 AM Hi, :)
I'm uploading a small research on the camouflage of Il-10s during the GPW. Please, let me know any suggestion or further images on this topic. Massimo Title: Re: some updates Post by: Massimo Tessitori on December 27, 2006, 10:24:16 PM Hi, :)
Oleg, your latest interview is uploaded on the site. Very interesting. Please, have a look and let me know if it's all OK. In a part of it, there is written about all-metal Yak-3 made at Saratov. Is it possible to know if this is referred to 1945/46? Perhaps he was talking about the elusive production Yak-3 VK-107, whose operatrive use is unknown, or perhaps they're common yak-3s with wooden rear fuselage and he was in error. Please, could you see if any source reports the delivery of such planes to the unit? Massimo Title: Re: some updates Post by: FPSOlkor on December 28, 2006, 01:51:16 AM Noot sure if it is at all possible - Zvyagin is dead... I'll ask Vlad about it, but he seems not to bee in to "iron"... On the other hand this unit was switched to La's very soon after war end... Also interesting moment - there were onlyfew 9K-s in the unit...
Title: Re: some updates Post by: Massimo Tessitori on December 29, 2006, 07:41:00 PM Hi, :)
your friend made some researches on the pilots. Couldn't he look for planes on the same sources? Massimo Title: Re: some updates Post by: FPSOlkor on December 30, 2006, 03:43:27 AM He spent several years in central military archive, and it would take another several years to find information about aircraft... :'(
Title: Re: some updates Post by: Massimo Tessitori on December 30, 2006, 10:21:21 AM Hi Oleg, :)
I fear that the operative history of Yak-3 VK-107 will remain a mistery. :'( Massimo Title: Re: some updates Post by: FPSOlkor on December 30, 2006, 03:20:57 PM It will be only the least of all mysteries of GPW...
Title: Re: some updates Post by: Massimo Tessitori on January 08, 2007, 11:46:30 PM Hi, :)
I've added two pages on LaGG-3s with skis. Please, have a look and let me know comments. Massimo Title: Re: some updates Post by: KSL on January 09, 2007, 10:02:08 PM Hi Massimo,
Thanks for update! Concerning LaGG-3 "Gor'kovskiy pioner" the fourth line in a donative inscription is "vozdushnikh sil RKKA", last two lines probably "from ******* ". Unfortunately I could not find out the full text of an inscription. I would like to place this variant on decals for next LaGG-3 kit from Vector. Sergey. Title: Re: some updates Post by: Massimo Tessitori on January 09, 2007, 10:24:12 PM Hi Sergey, :)
thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately we can't see if there is any number on the fuselage. Have you any contact with the authors of the Savaslejka photo file? Massimo Title: Re: some updates Post by: Audrius on January 16, 2007, 07:12:08 AM Have you any contact with the authors of the Savaslejka photo file? Massimo hi Massimo due to your interest I have contacted the right person regarding Savasleika pictures. The answer is not recieved yet. I will let you know about the response. BR Audrius Title: Re: some updates Post by: Clare on January 18, 2007, 05:55:59 PM Hi Massimo,
Nice details of the LaGG with skis. Thank you very much. I appreciate the details of the retraction method. A couple of the photos seem to suggest that the wheel well was covered over when the skis were used. Is this a modification for some of the subjects or just an optical illusion. Two that I noticed are the photo of the crashed LaGG showing the bottom of the ski and the model that you called a strange combination. Just curious. Also, are you aware of any kit or aftermarket package that includes skis of this type? Clare Title: Re: some updates Post by: John Thompson on January 18, 2007, 06:15:02 PM Also, are you aware of any kit or aftermarket package that includes skis of this type? Clare I really enjoyed the LaGG-3s on skis feature - thanks, Massimo. Regarding Clare's question, the Amodel 1/72 Yak-1 includes skis which look very similar (as I recall) to thos shown in the LaGG-3 photos. I hope this helps! John Thompson Title: Re: some updates Post by: Massimo Tessitori on January 19, 2007, 10:50:59 PM Hi, :)
for what I recall, the skis of yak-1 Amodel were more rectangular. However, it could be a starting point. I am in contact with a correspondant that is tracing scale drawings of LaGG-3 with ski. I think that this could help. Massimo Title: Re: some updates Post by: Massimo Tessitori on January 27, 2007, 10:12:55 PM Hi, :)
I've updated the MiG-3 page with photos and detailed descriptions of MiG-3s of Pascal Divay (from Emhar) and Honza Jezl (from Hobby Boss, you already know it). Please, have a look and let me know if it's all well. Massimo Title: Re: some updates Post by: Massimo Tessitori on March 27, 2007, 10:43:12 AM Hi, :)
should anyone be interested on Il-10, there is an excellent article on his Czech version B-33 on Air Magazine n.35 and 36. Unfortunately, nothing useful to understand the camouflage utilized in GPW. Massimo Hi, :) I'm uploading a small research on the camouflage of Il-10s during the GPW. Please, let me know any suggestion or further images on this topic. Massimo Title: Re: some updates Post by: Massimo Tessitori on April 08, 2007, 11:28:15 PM Hi, :)
I've added photos of my model of I-153. It's not exceptional, but it has an interesting camo and some considerations on the kit of Heller. Massimo Title: new LaGG-3 profiles Post by: Massimo Tessitori on June 03, 2007, 09:54:45 AM Hi, :)
I've uploaded a page with photos and profiles of 3 early type LaGG-3s. Please, have a look and let me know your impressions. Massimo Title: Re: some updates Post by: Marcin Widomski on June 03, 2007, 10:31:33 PM Massimo - check your mail box. I've sent you a better scan of LaGG photo.
Title: Re: some updates Post by: Massimo Tessitori on June 04, 2007, 06:21:01 AM Thank you Marcin, I've received it. It's excellent. I think that I'll replace the one already posted with the profile.
Massimo Title: Re: some updates Post by: Marcin Widomski on June 06, 2007, 05:30:02 PM Massimo - you are welcome. Feel free to use this image.

I've uploaded another interview by Oleg. Please, have a look and let me know if it's all well. Massimo Title: Re: some updates Post by: Audrius on July 03, 2007, 07:37:54 AM Hi, :) I've uploaded another interview by Oleg. Please, have a look and let me know if it's all well. Massimo Massimo, it is great one as well. Thanks both of you! BR Audrius Title: Re: some updates Post by: Massimo Tessitori on July 07, 2007, 07:51:31 AM Hi, :)
I've added the profile of MiG-3 red 7, and corrected the name of the pilot in the interview (I left the filename unchanged). Please, let me know any observation. Massimo |
