Hello,
Some work...
I built this one about 10 years ago thinking of making one of Evstigneev aircraft (infos from here: Evstigneev ), but it seems that is a mistake.
"White 95" was probably a La-7... Evstigneev apparently flew La-5F "white 55" and "white 78", La-5F(or FN) "black 96", La-5FN "white 76" and "white 14" and La-7 "white 95".

To be continued...

Hello,
Step one of painting done
Personally, I think Akan AMT-11 & 12 colors a little too dark... But it seems that they are the closest to the real colors
Ready for step two => white markings

Very nice Steph. After reading up on Russian colours for my Il-2, I feel no more educated to comment on the shades!

Hello,
Step 2 (and 3) done
I decided not to apply white marking on the tail or the rudder of this specific aircraft... No proof that the aircrafts of this unit wore something like that... We can see an aircraft with something which seems to be a white marking on the rudder (background of photo on post #7) but not sure she was of the same unit.
It exists some photos of V. Popkov beside "white 75" of the same unit at the same period and there is no trace of a white marking on the tail. So I decided to do the same on "white 01"
Decals soon
