The reason I am asking for help is due to wanting to depict this Aircraft/ area that it was brought down in as accurate as possible for a Painting that I want to do on an actual piece of this Aircraft that I purchased recently from Mike, who has what is left of this craft.

Hello!
Others surely will follow with info for the a/c colours and markings. But for finding locations in Russia I would recommend this site:
http://www.fallingrain.com/world/RS
Kandalaksha (Kantalahti) is in Murmansk area, so click the row "
Murmanskaya Oblast'" (seems this program created direct link on the left, click it!). Clicking forward the alphabetical listing you will find page with map and other data for Kandalaksha. Also satellite image link is given for clicking. This might (or not!) help creating the landscape for you painting. Note that Kandalaksha is a coastal town.
Image search with AltaVista/ Google etc. with searchword Kandalaksha or
Кандалакша might help. The town homepage has photo gallery at:
http://kandalaksha.org/gallery/index.php
this might give some ideas.
Enjoy your painting!
