These images show a LaGG-3 abandoned on a road and vandalized by German souvenir hunters. Many other images of the same plane are available.

The camouflage looks absolutely standard, apart for the lighter spinner, possibly red (usually it should follow the camo scheme, that is black); the light band on the tail tip is probably the result of stripping down the fabric layer; that probably had a small red star as in use in Zavod 31 at Taganrog (later evacuated to Tbilisi).

The light 7 on the freshly black-painted tail could be silver, being scarcely visible in the second image taken under different light and angulation.

Many thanks to Alex Ruchkowsky and Marcin Widomski for their help.
