The LaGG-3 Fighter In Profile & Scale

Volume № 11 of the Profile & Scale series is a ground-breaking work seeking to understand and explain the extreme complexity of the LaGG-3 fighter programme. More than 50 LaGG-3 examples are faithfully documented in full-colour profile, many appearing for the first time. Sixty-three pages of original and not previously published 1:48 scale line drawings reveal the development and complexity of the LaGG family as never before, seeking to clarify much of what has been shrouded in confusion hitherto. These line drawings are the culmination of nearly 30 years' dedicated work on the type, and should present the most complete, accurate and illuminating scale work regarding the aircraft to date.

The book contains an essential summary of the development of the LaGG-3 programme which should clarify many aspects of the fighter, its history and development during the war. Even seasoned students of VVS history will no doubt discover new information regarding this most complicated and convoluted project, and it is hoped that these discoveries will allow for a re-appraisal of the LaGG-3 and its place in the greater aeronautical story.

Many of the colour profiles represent examples which will be familiar to students of the LaGG-3, albeit completed to the utmost standard of accuracy. Several profiles will doubtless be new even to experienced readers, and it is hoped these will delight both the casual reader and the serious student, equally.

" The Profile & Scale series is designed for the modeller and hobbyist as a graphical resource for the subject aircraft. The books are divided into two main sections, with the first containing many full-colour rendered profiles, each illustrating a specific historical example in exacting detail. The accompanying explanatory text and photographs help to clarify any points of interest and discussion.

This colour artwork is complimented in the following section by dozens of superb scale line drawings which demonstrate the exact shape and dimensions of the machine to a degree never seen previously. These scale drawings cover all of the main variants and developments of the type, including detail views of important modifications and features.

The Profile & Scale series books are a treasure-trove for hobbyist and historian, alike. Those wishing to complete their own modelling project or artwork with the utmost accuracy and historical fidelity will find no better resource with which to do so. "
