History
La-5FN was the second and the most successful modification of the La-5 variant, designed by the Lavochkin bureau. It entered production in 1943, with 4817 La-5FNs built in total.
La-5FN used the La-5F’s Type-39 body as a base, with added improvements. La-5FN’s main improvement over the La-5 and La-5F, was the ASh-82FN Engine. The ‘F’ in the ‘FN’ designation stood for ‘Forsirovaniy’ which translates to ‘Forced or Boosted’ and ‘N’ stood for ‘Neposredstvenniy’ meaning ‘Neposredstvenniy vprisk' which translates to ‘Direct injection’. This was an engine in which a carburator (still being used in the engines of the previous La-5 models) was replaced for a direct fuel injection system, which improved the engine’s performance and power. The symbol ‘?H’ which is the cyrillic letters ‘FN’ , inclosed in a rhombus, was painted in white onto the engine cowling and the tip of the tail of the airplanes to help identify them as La-5FN.

Can you make VoIga dnepr AN-124?
I used this aircraft to make a fictional aircraft I made up called the Nova Cambrian Y-6 Airpower, this has a similar build to how I saw it in my mind
Could I use the stars?

@Kangy oh
@Hiimakeplanes russia restricted pilots to only paint red stars for kill markings
other countries didn't really care much
t46

t46
@Hiimakeplanes lol
@Jaspy190 oh, imagine what a United States pilot that gone to the ussr in 1945 and saw one of these planes with red stars will think
@Hiimakeplanes If i recall correctly, the Soviets only did Red Stars, and not other countries' roundels for kills
@167167 @Dathcha ok I guess some guy is getting sent by Stalin to Siberia for the rest of their life
But you see those 7 soviet kills were trying to desert! @Hiimakeplanes
@167167 so lemme get this right the graphics designer for that was on somthing
@Hiimakeplanes But that's exactly what it was in the War thunder promo
Wait the ussr marks on the side of this plane meant it shot down ussr planes..? 7 friendly fire incidents and 0 enemies kills?
@167167 is the typa guy who wins a game of rock, paper, scissors infront of a mirror
