When I ran a Little Cold Wars game based on Task Force Smith in Korea a couple of years ago I used a Lavochkin La-5 as part of the NKPA air support. I happened to mention at the time that it really should have been an La-7 which earned me displays of mock outrage from the players. Carrying on the joke, a couple of weeks later John presented me with this fine (and presumably very cheap) kit, insisting that it be ready for a re-run of the scenario. It was a simple kit to build and I opted for a colour scheme based on the box art.
