I'm a bit sick and stuck at home so I used this opportunity to build this little La-9 from recent bundle by Bruno. It's number 4850 and can be found here:
1/100 snp Lavochkin La-9 and 11 Bundle Paper model - EcardModels
Chinese communist forces received a batch of airplanes from SU just prior to Korean war and they were used in early engagements along with Yak-9,Il-10,Tu-2 and possibly some other piston engine planes. They were replaced with Mig-15 as soon as crews were sufficiently trained. La-9 stayed in training and secondary use up until 1960 or so. Number of them are preserved in mainland museums but they have been used for various experiments and in technical schools for so long they are unlikely to be in complete and unmodified state.
I tried (again) successfully making this model in 1:72 scale. Pictures speak for themselves. Model lacks prop and undercarriage because it will be a gift to a very eager son of one of my GF friends . I hope he enjoys it
