Original

The Lavochkin La-5 was a Soviet propeller driven fighter aircraft of World War ll, it is a further development of the LaGG-3, replacing it's inline engine with a more powerful Shvetsnov ASh-82 radial engine, giving it a top speed of 648km/h compared to the LaGG's 589km/h, albeit trading range for speed, it also replaces the LaGG's single 12.7mm and 20mm guns with dual 20mm ShVAK autocannons, the aircraft entered service in February 1943, challenging Bf-109G2s and Fw-190A-4s.

On this SimplePlanes version, it's basically the same thing just with a smaller scale, 70% to be exact, it replaces the old air brake type flaps of my original La-5 with integrated flaps, "fixed" the engine cowling design, and added a custom cockpit that is now on the correct position, the guns are also configured to behave like it's actual counterparts.
