A technical plan of the Lavochkin-Gorbunov-Gudkov LaGG-3, plotted pen to paper, line by line, on 250 g/m² paper, 11 × 17 in. A physical tip presses into the paper and lays down real ink, one pass at a time. On the back, a serial number and date, plotted in UV ink in the same pass as the drawing.
The plan of the LaGG-3 exists as a file, everywhere. What doesn't exist everywhere is a copy someone can point to and say who drew it, where, on what day, and under what serial number.
Designed by Semyon Lavochkin, Vladimir Gorbunov, and Mikhail Gudkov, the LaGG-3 first flew March 28, 1940, at a time when the Soviet Union badly needed a fighter that didn't compete with tanks and artillery for scarce aluminum. The answer was a fuselage of resin-bonded plywood called delta wood, strong and nearly fireproof but heavy, which made the aircraft famously hard to fly well — Soviet pilots reportedly joked its designation stood for "guaranteed varnished coffin." 6,528 were built before production shifted to the lighter, more capable Lavochkin La-5 in 1944. This blueprint captures the type at its most-produced M-105PF-powered configuration, armed with a single cannon firing through the propeller hub.

Each piece is physically plotted by the studio's precision robot in Québec City, using Stabilo® Fineliners and Sakura® Gelly Roll inks on 250 gsm (120 lb) stock — stroke by stroke, never printed. A physical tip presses into the paper and lays down real ink. The result is a tactile, hand-plotted finish — never printed.

Included
Production timelapse included — every order · no extra cost
Watch your piece being plotted, line by line, by the studio's robot. A personal timelapse of your production is sent with every order — to share, or to keep as a record of how your piece came to be.
Hidden signature
Real footage — an early production piece, shown under blacklight.
A signature only UV light reveals
On the back of every piece, in the same pass as the drawing, we plot a signature invisible under normal light — codeink.art, the piece's name and serial number, the year, and Québec. Shine a blacklight on it and it glows.
“Most fighters in this catalogue are shaped by what their engine and armament demanded. This one was shaped just as much by what material was available — a whole airframe designed around a country's aluminum shortage. Drawing it, the fuselage reads less like performance engineering and more like wartime substitution made to fly anyway.”
Open production, no duplicates
Every LaGG-3 piece is plotted after you order it — the pen wears down differently each pass, ink density shifts, and no two lines close exactly the same way. Nothing is corrected or hidden.
PERFECTLY imperfect.
A real process, not a printer
