Title: La-5/5F/5FN wheel wells, wheel hubs & landing gear color ? Post by: steph40 on June 14, 2020, 08:07:20 PM Hello,
Maybe already asked, but all A-14 or AMT-7 ? TIA, regards. Stéph. Title: Re: La-5/5F/5FN wheel wells, wheel hubs & landing gear color ? Post by: Massimo Tessitori on June 14, 2020, 08:33:58 PM Hi,
I think A-14 bays, legs and inside of the doors and emerald green wheel hubs. Regards Massimo Title: Re: La-5/5F/5FN wheel wells, wheel hubs & landing gear color ? Post by: steph40 on June 14, 2020, 10:58:53 PM Thank you Massimo :)

It was green at MiGs, bombers and some others. But when I built all my WWII Lavochkins and Yaks kits and checked references I always found only A-14 wheel hubs for them.

I don't know. I can't find pieces of wheels of La-5.ì, and preserved La-7s are reworked and unconsistent. I think to remember to have seen something, but I can't find it. Ithink that both possibilities exist, bw photos don't seem to show always the same thing. Regards Massimo Title: Re: La-5/5F/5FN wheel wells, wheel hubs & landing gear color ?

Was it this? http://vvs.hobbyvista.com/Research/wheels/Wheels-1.html There was supposed to be a Part 2, but I don't think it ever appeared.

no, I thought to have seen some trace of blue-green on the wheel of a photo of a wreck or on some photo of a museum La-7, but I could be wrong. I can't find it so it could be wrong. Regards Massimo |
