The Lavochkin La-7 was the successor to the excellent La-5FN and became one of the mainstays of Soviet aviation in the final stage of World War II. It was extensively used on the Eastern Fronts and also saw action over Czechoslovakia and Germany in 1945. The aircraft was renowned for its excellent performance at low and medium altitudes and very good maneuverability—these features were highly valued by Soviet pilots, including ace Ivan Kozhedub.

This publication is an invaluable source of information for modelers building in 1/32, 1/48, or 1/72 scales, allowing for accurate reproduction of paint schemes, constructional details, and markings of the La-7 from various fronts. The 10 color profiles make it easier to choose an interesting variant, and the archival photos are a great aid during model building.

We recommend this monograph to both beginner and advanced aircraft modelers – it is an excellent addition to any workbench and a source of inspiration, facilitating in-depth historical reconstruction and precise execution of modeling projects.
