You should consider putting your images to some western server. All russian servers are so slow, even though I live very close.

Ugh, the pic loaded now. Probably something temporary.

Nice plane :)
When was it built? Looks like 50s-60s.

Actually it's more like 1940 or something. The La-5 was the unlucky predecessor of the more famous La-7. The latter was built in large numbers during WWII.

La-5, 1942 model

This was one of the main Soviet fighters during the Second World War. The aircraft was developed as the next LaGG-3 version. The La-5 was built in the shortest possible time in the Experimental Design Office of S.A. Lavochkin in conjunction with the LaGG-3s withdrawn from production in most factories. The fighter was based on the mass-produced LaGG-3 modified version.

ooh, it's nice. I love the last image, except the reds are just a bit too red to fit the composition. Also, the textures are great, but they're just a bit too varied. They stand out a bit too much. Maybe tone down the contrast?

[basilperegud]

That's true. Thanks. Let's try it.

Looks very impressive, but not big enough to do it justice.

Any chance of a larger picture please? Looks like theres a lot of fine detail in there to see!
