Yak-7B late, G.I. Filatov, 146 iap, July 1943:

The plane is camouflaged in standard blue green AMT-4 and black on the upper surfaces and light blue AMT-7 on the under surfaces according to the NKAP order from the summer 1941.
Plane has apparently fought with the victory starlets painted on, there is what seems a repair for a bullet hole. Additional repairs are visible in the big red star and at the root of the tail – color is brighter than green AMT-4, it could be yellowish nitro putty.
The profile in the full resolution should be published in the book Soviet Fighters of the Second World War by Jason Nicholas Moore.
