One of two LTD Lagg-3's purchased mail-order from The Aviation Hobby Shop.
They were very expensive. Since purchasing them better alternatives have
arrived. For example, ICM, Southern Front and Neomega all now offer superior
alternatives although this may still remain the only version of this
production run (Series 35 'lightened'). The kit remains collectible in its
own right. However, as the name suggests, it is one of a limited-run
release. Although injection moulded it is a little crude and rough around
the edges. Quite a challenge. Aftermarket accessories include:
-
Falcon Clearvax
Vacformed canopy (early and late type for LTD kit)
-
True Details Resin
Weighted Wheels
-
Cutting Edge Wheel Hub
Masks
-
Extratech Seatbelts for
Russian VVS of the GPW
-
Eduard Canopy Masks
EDUEX206
-
Moskit Exhaust Pipe
-
Moskit Blast Tubes for
12.7mm UB
-

are better than the Propagteam which duplicate the Ltd set almost
exactly)

discoloured hence the Falcon set is necessary. |
