Well I found the book with the right side photo Bagration to Berlin. Any assistance on any other book title would be great.

It may have started with this tread, but Stepaniyan's Il-2 in 1:32 !!! That's something! Although my name decorates the sheet , I proposed different colours: On both photos (green) grass is very dark, darker then red star. The film that was used was more sensitive to green than on red!!! My interpretation would be: Fuselage upper surface and wing root - mid grayCockpit framing - redNose and tail trim - dark green or dark blueFuselage and wing undersurface - light bluewing top - light blueLanding gear pods trimming - dark green or dark blueWheels - dark green A-15f, like postwar Soviet planes

I know, Konstantin - I did give him your suggestions. However, I'm still pleased to have my name up in lights, so to speak. Look, I'm famous!
Regards,
Jason

A few questions though what year did Stepanyan receive this particular aircraft? Do you not think the wing root radius is not painted a different colour to the rest of the wing? The previous photos seem to lend some credence that something is going on there? This one I am not sure what aircraft he is near it seems painted very similar to the rest though.

Hi all, Do you not think the wing root radius is not painted a different colour to the rest of the wing? yes, but I am not sure if it is red. The red nose should end with a point and a white line, and the color below... who knows? To tell the truth, I think that something on the painting of the wings of this plane has still to be understood. The front photo posted at the beginning of the thread shows wings that are not of uniform color and with trasversal white stripes, and the red as on the nose looks continuing below the landing gear nacelles. Regards Massimo

Wing root is the same color as the mid part of the fuselage, probably midium gray AMT-11. Wing top is lighter, probably solid "deep sky blue" AMT-7. Nose and tail are either dark green or dark blue, probably dark green. Photo is probably from the same 1944 series. Too bad the background is retouched. Cheers, KL

Hi, Wing top is lighter, probably solid "deep sky blue" AMT-7. Nose and tail are either dark green or dark blue, probably dark green. Personally, I don't think that they would use camouflage colors on a bright plane, particularly on the nose and wings. Eventually they could leave camo color for background, but all that work for a dark green nose... I don't think. I suspect that there is a stripe of some gloss color over the wing in correspondance of the nacelle; on the photo from the right, it could justify that uncomplete darker stripe that looks to reflect the darker shade on the fuselage. Regards Massimo

Nose and tail are either dark green or dark blue, probably dark green. Photo is probably from the same 1944 series. Too bad the background is retouched. Cheers, KL The reason I asked about the date for his aircraft was because of that photo I posted it is dated 1942. It was pointed out to me by a person I am working with to make a skin of this aircraft for a flight SIM game. That if the 1942 date is correct AMT-11 was not used until September 1943? http://mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/colors/color-table.htmlAlso the red Falcons site that I got the photo from if it is translated correctly says the plane was presented to him in 1942. Click on part 7 & search for his name to get to that link. http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fairaces.narod.ru%2Findex.htmlHere is a portion of the text. Thoughts?

I think it isn't: 1. wing top is different colour then wing root and the fuselage. It's lighter. 2. necelles were pinted same as engine cowling (plane's nose) 3. Nose, necelles and tail are not the same colour as the markings. Those parts are darker than red stars Cheers, KL

Regards Massimo I too looked at that right view of that photo & was playing about with it not sure if it is a stripe or just a panel reflecting the light some how. The area in question I think matches this photo of another plane. It's a shame that the left wing is at just enough of an angle to hide this area.

Your pattern & paint lines are very good based of what is in hand. That is what I meant by lay out.

Few paint lines (borders between paints) are missing: 1. Between gray wing root and light blue wing top 2. Between dark green (or dark blue, or dark red) necelle and light blue wing undersides KL

I think I may have found a partial answer to this point you have made. I bought Vasily Emelianenko's book & it has a few photos of IL-2's in it & there is this one of an IL-2 that bears a striking resemblance to the plane in question. As you can see the same strange rectangle on the leading edge of the plane similar painted spinner with the star as well as the nacelles for the landing gear. The most striking feature to me is that the dark area painted along the wing root is not the same colour as the fuselage & it looks to follow what I believe is on the leading edge of Stepayans aircraft as well. Thoughts?
