{"product_id":"roden-1-72-lagg-3-typ-35-plastic-model-kit","title":"Roden 1\/72 LAGG-3 typ 35 Plastic Model Kit","description":"In the spring of 1940, a group of designers directed by S.Lavochkin, V.Gorbunov and M.Gudkov proposed a new experimental fighter to be built for test flight - the I-301\". As a result of shortages concerning metallic materials, basic construction was made using \"delta-wood\", or wood soaked in special phenolic resins. The aircraft was powered by a 1050h.p. M105P liquid-cooled engine enabling it to reach speeds of 605 km\/h - it was faster than a modified \"Me-109\", Germany's main fighter.\u003cbr\u003eProduction of the new plane, named the LaGG-1, was started just before the end of flight testing, the plane's construction being developed in time for production to proceed serially.\u003cbr\u003eSeries 35 was a modification, equipped with the more powerful M-105PF engine. For weight reduction some armament was deleted - only one UBS machine gun and one ShVAK cannon remained. To increase maneuverability the aircraft was equipped automatic slats, and aerodynamic performance was improved. After that LaGG-3, series 35 approached the performance of the Me-109F, Germany's main fighter.\u003cbr\u003eAircraft of this type were used all over the Eastern Front, the Finnish Air Force also using a few captured LaGG-3.\u003cbr\u003eMore then 6500 planes of all modification were built in total.\"","brand":"Roden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48490364043485,"sku":"ROD038","price":17.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/0708\/0110\/files\/ROD038.jpg?v=1788371834","url":"https:\/\/ultimatehobbies.com.au\/products\/roden-1-72-lagg-3-typ-35-plastic-model-kit","provider":"Ultimate Hobbies Site","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
