A fine build.

From what I've read, the Soviets in the 1942 period, when they were on the run, slapped whatever paint they could find on airframes, so you could put the color mismatch down to that. I think it makes the model more realistic, not less. Soviet military aircraft lived hard and rough!

I've read that several batchs of LaGG-3 fighters were painted with leftover paint from the farm tractor production line that had been built prior to the urgent need for aircraft!
