Tempest Mk.V vith schvetsov engine

[werwolff]

Hi guys! please Excuse me for my bad english,I using google translator.
Soviet Lavochkin construction bureau was quite enthusiastic performances Tempest aircraft, but the problem was with the repair engines. Therefore attempted to install the Ash-82FN engine coupled with a third cylinder's star. The prototype flew quite successfully, but Stalin personally intervened and did not allow the production. Unfortunately, may occur to a similar situation as DC-3/Li-2 or B-29/Tu-4. Nevertheless, it was decided to use the aircraft for at least a propaganda in Soviet newspapers publish his photographs with fictitious symbols of kills.
The kit:Academy 1/72,with a revell's La-5fn engine and the filler.
