kurlannaiskos :
Ahhhh... it was discussed SO many times, that I fell hard to repeat it. You need to look in special forums (modellers, flight sim skinners e.t.c.).
He use "his oun in mind" colors, paintschemes, mixing units and pilots "that way what he want"...
After some people tell him : look on the photoe, it is a part of LaGG-3 wing, look on the colours and then to "Yours" - and compare - he start to use rude words.
Yes, because he will NEVER admit that ALL his "authority" will fall after he will admit that all his "knowledge" is his OWN SPECULATION.
Why? Because he got big money for his CD and Books. For example this:

But colours are amasing.
For example this La-5:

is painted from this:
http://www.sukhoi.ru/forum/attachmen...5&d=1200633375
But it is POSTWAR PAINTED aircraft. Colours were discussed, it is FULL new, NON WW II time colours (mix of green and blue for appersurface)
This La-5:

Correct colours (skin of Il-2:FB flight sim, painted by VVS color researcher "Bomber"):

I repeat: sourse of Pilawski is only his oun "inmind speculation". Sourses of my friends are reall WWII documents, photoes of parts of founded (not post-war overpainted) aircrafts, real WW II orders, reports of tests... Many.
Best wishes.
