Nice model, but both AMT-11 and AMT-12 look too light when compared to the real colours revealed on the le Bourget Yak-3.  Dark gray AMT-12 should be much closer to Black AMT-6 used on the propeller blades.
Light blue AMT-7 is OK, though.  Smiley

Happy modelling,
KL

Hello Steph!
Always a pleasure tu see NN planes!
i like very much the way you weathered the plane (c'est tr?s fin)
the mount is very clean congratulations!
however, I disagree in two points with you:
As KL I find the gray colors too lights
and second thing, In my point of you russian mecalics didn't have the blue of the french army so they used wat they have , there is a pic of the risso's plane in le bourget (I don't find it in the web)  who shows a darker blue.. 
that's what I did for the Iribarne's yak-3:



I didn't knew about the red lines you show in the tree yak. Can you tell me more about them?
I should peint it in mine....

Possibly A-9 Dark Blue  ?   used for Hydraulic systems so would be available.


But for small amounts used on spinners it would be easy enough to add a little white for a more French blue. 
Have they sanded the paint on the spinner of the Yak-3 at Le Bourget yet?

Total speculation on my part, just a suggestion based on potentially available paint.

Xan,
I saw these red lines on some Yak-9 and Yak-3, we can see that in upper on right arm, between the elbow and shoulder, on the picture of Yak-3 "white 24" from "normandie-Niemen" taken during Spring 1945 at Elbing or Stuttgart or at Le Bourget ?

But I'm not sure that it was a generality...
Cheers
St?ph
