Simmers is an okay site but I trust Urban's colors more. I have some color swatches and I cant tell them apart when I put them side to side.

Word of warning when viewing FS 595B colours, while I can't speak for other countries I do know that most of the FS number references used for RAF WWII camo colours are only approximations, not true matches.  Most WWII RAF camo colours were discontinued after the war and very few precise matches exist today in either BS 381C or FS 595B colour standards.  Exceptions would be Aluminum (17178), Sky (34424), Dark Green (34079), and Night (37030) which are apparently all correct.  Every other colour is only the closest match that exists these days.

Very nice.

Are you sure the La7 engine cowl split/latched where you have shown it?  Whilst there was such a hinge/split on the La5 I think it was basically 2 semi circular panels on the La7.

Wish HTC would get rid of the cannon muzzles sticking out of the nose. I have never seen such a thing on any rendition/photograph/drawing of a Lavochkin.

Agreed, same thing with the 262.

Nice skin Fencer! :)
