Matveev's Yak-7B (White 29)

« on: February 02, 2008, 01:51:42 AM »

Are there more, or better, photos of A.A. Matveev's Yak-7B than this one?
http://airfield.narod.ru/yak/yak-7/color2/photo_yak-7b_05.html

Here's a profile from the same site, which does not appear to agree with the photo:
http://airfield.narod.ru/yak/yak-7/color2/pic_yak-7b_05.html

Another similar profile:
http://wp.scn.ru/en/ww2/f/267/1/1/16

And of course (as near as I can tell) none of these corresponds to any of the "standard" Yak-7 camouflage patterns in "Soviet Air Force Fighter Colours 1941-1945"! Undecided

Helo John,

Regarding the first picture (archive image), I think this camo scheme seems like Saratov scheme (AII green/AII black/AII blue or AMT4/6/7). Some informations here (in French)

Thanks very much, Steph - a very interesting link! Reading it may challenge my high-school French, but I can always fall back on Babel Fish! Wink
