Thanks for the heads up B6

I'm sure ther won't be be a La5 either. The screenshot that show a WIP model of a La fighter is actually a La9 from "Project Galba". http://download.softclub.ru/pub/il2p...20grab0000.jpg

Your right that is an la9 but a few months back when they took the pics of the office we were told that one of the guys was working on a la5.

There was another photo showing a designer working on a model in their office photo update. IIRC luthier confirmed it was La-5.

I think La-5 is not for BoM but for BoS as they first appeared in Stalingrad. However it might be also a joint 1941-1942 project from Moscow till Stalingrad.

Hmmm, i think people are getting ahead of themselves, no Fw's or La's involved in the battle of Moscow.............

Same thing that happened to RoF, look for "knights of the sky" (the original name) and you will find loads of models of aicraft that are not released or have only just being sold.

Pretty sure the models were not finished or just not up to scratch

But still ... Given the insane amount of detail these models have to have spending development effort, as in manpower and therefor money, on a type that came a good six months after the final act in "The Battle of Moscow" had been sung (if we were to follow the international historians and consider the timeframe of "Typhoon" and the soviet counter offensive as the background for BoM) it puzzles me a bit. I mean we do have so many types that need to be modeled for the setting I described (Bf 109 E-7, F-2, F-4, Ju 88 A-4, He 111 H-3, H-4 and H-6, Hs 123, Ju 87 B-2, I-16 Type 18 and Type 24, I-153 M62, Il-2 Model 1940, Yak-1 Model 1941, MiG-3ud, LaGG-3 ...) I don't really see the resources for that ... Unless, of course, MG has pulled our leg with the title and it does stretch 1941 and 1942 (although I really doubt that).
