Hi, really great! This shows not only the camouflage of the Li-2, but shows La-5FN and La-7 of 4 GIAP KBF, confirming that the types had differently shaped white painting on the tail. Regards Massimo
Do you have proof about 4 GIAP KBF ?

These La's can be of any guards regiment of 1st guards ftr division of KBF (3, 4, 10 giap). Or may be some other unknown unit.

Hi, perhaps they could be of another unit, but: the tail of the La-5FN is just as those known of 4 giap kbf; the tail of the La-7 is just as the only known photo of 4 giap kbf; the number 70 and the visible characteristics of the camo are compatible with the known photos of the plane of Golubev. It would be good to look for further informations, of course. I was told that some photos of his plane, still unpublished, do exist. Of course, I hope that the next book of Milos Vestsik will give further informations. Regards Massimo

Hi, I am impressed for this photo found on Scalemodels.ru It shows a La-5 with a winter painting, where the light color has replaced green. They were discussing if the light color could be aluminium instead of white. Regards Massimo

Hi, interesting photo and interesting discussion at scalemodels.ru. Anyhow, IMHO this La-5 has thin, a bit translucent layer of the white over green. Instructions said that original camo had to be partially visible under the field-applied white winter camo. Regards, 66misos

Hi Misos, I think that it is traslucent white, that when overposed to green appears as a sort of light grey. Looking at the shadowed part close to the numbers on the fuselage sides, I see that it goes into shadow as the white paint of the digits, while a metallic paint should easily show reflections on the parts in shadow. I wonder if the lighter thin outlines of the white bands are real, or an effect of a strong compression of the image; JPG can make such artifacts where the darkness changes sharply. On the other hand, it can also be that the white bands have a thicker layer of paint along the outlines because they were at first contoured, then filled. Regards Massimo

Great images, particularly those of Yaks. Thank you for sharing them. I think to have already seen the photo of the line of Pe-2s on the ground, attributed to the Yugoslavian front. I wonder what is the color of the MBR-2. The colors of seaplanes are still unclear. Regards Massimo

Do you recognize what models the Yaks are? Also the one with the arrow wing logo under the canopy on the fuselage I have never seen that one before. Any clues to its squadron?
