Thanks John for this magnificent picture.It looks like the stars has a yellow border and there is a circle of paint covering the RAF roundel as well as a band of a similar shade covering the tail flag.Greetings:
Martin

Hi John,  interesting. At first look it recalls Yellow 32, but there are some differences-in first place, the absence of the number 32. Massimo |

actually that Yak-1 on skis is very attractive and is the subject of my next Accurate Miniatures kit.
(fuselage, tail,canopy and wing spars already done!)
the hard part will be finding some appropriate decals....
this will complement my Yak-7V on skis also using summer camoflage in winter.
(it was at NII undergoing trials at the time)

Cool! Maybe if you can post some images of the finished product, it'll inspire me with my 1/72 Amodel project. What colour do you think the fuselage number was? As I mentioned, there are several more images of this Yak-1 on avia-n-aero - do you have them? If not, I'm sure I can come up with the URL's, with a bit of digging. LMK! John |

actually, off the top of my head I can't say as I've seen other images of this aircraft.
(correct camo pattern and colors SAFFC page 135 fig 7)
so if you can 'dig them up' I would be appreciative, as I really don't feel like surfing that site for hours.
as good a site as it is there are other things I need to do.
it looks to me that the 6 is in yellow , but other photos would be very helpful for confirmation.
Thanks , John.

What, unwilling to plough through 5380 fascinating images of glorious Russian aircraft? Comrade Dark Green Man, I think we must investigate your loyalty to the noble objectives of the People's VVS Modelbuilding Collective...?  Turns out there are only 3 more - one image is duplicated, so 3 more in total plus the one I already posted, not 4: http://www.avia-n-aero.ru/photo.php?category_id=30&parent_id=0&photo_id=4709&countdisplay=&start=960http://www.avia-n-aero.ru/photo.php?category_id=492&parent_id=0&photo_id=3567&countdisplay=&start=2080http://www.avia-n-aero.ru/photo.php?category_id=492&parent_id=0&photo_id=2627&start=2080Here's the one I already posted, for the sake of completeness: http://www.avia-n-aero.ru/photo.php?category_id=29&parent_id=29&photo_id=894&countdisplay=&start=0I suggest (based on past experience) that anyone who wants to save these should do it quickly, because the URL addresses usually change every time the site owner adds new images.

LOL !
my comradeship in the Collective is not in question, please do not send the G.R.U. after me !
what I should have said is ' instead of spending hours looking at images that time for me is better spent actually working on the model'
although proper research is a requirement so too is time spent actually working on it.
how else can you become Hero of Socialist(modeling) Labor if you never actually labor?
as for saving the images... I always do for the exact reason you mention.
I second the idea for everyone else.
p.s. Thank You for the URL's

Hello everybody: actually that Yak-1 on skis is very attractive and is the subject of my next Accurate Miniatures kit.
Really an attractive subject,I have an Acc. Min. kit too and it has no decals,so these would be a good scheme.I?ll got to "steal" the skis from ICM Yak-7. Thanks John for these links,the photos are very useful for a future project.Best regards: Martin |

John, what no snappy come-back? dude, you're slipping.
(and now I will get serious again)
thanks for those images of the LaGG-3, although for that time it would be considered junk if we were to find that today it would be a precious aviation artifact.
Martin , I have an extra set of skis and landing gear legs (modified for use with the skis) if you want them.
let me know via email or PM.
