Help?
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, June 15, 2003 5:48 PM
Can anyone give me some help on a project I am working on?

I am trying to find some reference on La-176's. I believe it is a 1950's Soviet Fighter and I just am having a bugger of a time finding anything on them! The kit I purchased from Squadron is by Marquette and the Russian instructions are abysmal to say the least!

Thanks

I'm afraid I don't have any answers for you on this topic, but I do have a suggestion for helping yourself: Be more specific in your Subject title- "Help" on what? This will generate more interest and replies.

Here's a review of the 1/72 kit

Here's a Russian page with a 3-view drawing and a couple of 'pictures'

I'll keep looking for more. I know there's a 'bible' of Soviet aircrafts where there's info on that aircraft. I just need to get it and see if there's anything interesting in it... If so, I'll let you know.

I am not sure if it is the bible, but there is a book by Alexander Boyd, available used on Amazon that looks promising:

also on ebay, where i saw it first and you can get a better look at it:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3527184836&category=1127&rd=1

(yes, i am the high bidder. so don't price me out, or i will buy one of the cheaper copies on amazon!) :-)

i have no idea what is REALLY in the book, but it looks like it has good reference potential and it is dirt cheap.

good luck!
