Auto Credit Based on deusalgor's (Challenge!)Early Jet Fighters Championship!(Closed)
Development of the La-7 fighter (the sv stands for struyno-versiya, jet-version, I hope that Translate didn't fail me) based on the Me 262. Built in 1946, it was a failure since the engines couldn't produce enough thrust, which made it slower than many propellar planes.
Edit: Don't know how I forgot it, but I did: the 8 is borrowed from AgDynamics, and the Soviet stars are from deusalgor.

Good work
Final stage preparations began!
@deusalgor Thanks, but I think I'll go with the current one :)
Ok, pal, here is version with fixed intakes. But now it has some issues with stability. You can upload new one or i can just use your current version. Great design, btw.
@Seeras Yeah :)
@TheMasterSoldier Thanks!
@Waemoth
To much Bratwurst & Sauerkraut xD
@Seeras Yeah, I know. But to be fair only the rear parts of the fuselage remains, all wings and the nose were replaced. So all in all it's just a fat 262.
@Waemoth
That was no offense. ^^
I like german, american, soviet, .. planes but they all have their own style.
If you mix them it's like Frankenstein's Monster. :-P
@FlOu Thanks.
@Seeras Well, I just happened to have the La-7 fuselage laying around, and thought that it would be a decent idea to build something based on that. At first I tried to make it similiar to the Meteor, but the front ended up reminding me of the Schwalbe, so I went for that.
@Waemoth
Me as a german don't like those soviet (based of german) planes. And yes its a good piece of work.
What a great little bird. Nice job on the design. Perfect pitch stability
@Seeras I think it ended up decently, but I agree about it not being a very beautiful plane :)
Damn ugly hybrid.
But nice build. :-)
