Real gold mine. Some pics are from valuable angles. There are also some pics of ANT-25, Yak-9U, Tu-2 and other from nice angles and small distances :) The best ones are for SB-2 (under ANT-40) ! In fact, here is a direct link to Monino pics: http://jkierat.jk.ohost.de/air_foto/monino/index.htm Thanks again for this one. Cheers!

[/color] Heh, thanks for your kind words. You are assuming that I know that much about Yak-9 ::) Obviously, Yak's are your field. Thanks for explanation. I'll rename downloaded pics ASAP.

They must have the Ash-82 or equivalent engines. I wonder if there are some wrecks lying undiscovered that may provide parts...

It makes a gorgeous sound. I wonder what if a real La-5/La-7 sounded that way.
This is all the footage I have garnered from youtube but it is rather awesome: La-7 http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=jOdASyKz3TU La-5/LaGG-3 http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=nHfEnNPp6Ds But I reckon you've seen them already? Title: Re: Walkarounds, Including La-7 Post by: John Thompson on November 09, 2007, 11:08:31 PM Yes, thanks, Dave; there's another thread somewhere where I posted those myself, but I figure the more they get posted, the more people will have the opportunity to enjoy them!
I see quite a few neat videos on YouTube from a guy called "SmiertSpionam", by the way... ;) John Title: Re: Walkarounds, Including La-7 Post by: Dave on November 11, 2007, 12:29:14 AM Oh thank you, you're too kind... :D
