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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAircraft of this type were used all over the Eastern Front, the Finnish Air Force also using a few captured LaGG-3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore then 6500 planes of all modification were built in total.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roden Models","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53581384548565,"sku":"ROD38","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/files\/roden-models-38-1-72-lagg-3-35-series-model-aircraft-kit.gif?v=1780410606","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/roden-models-38-1-72-lagg-3-35-series-model-aircraft-kit","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
