If this is mid 1942, then these Shturmoviks should have the "late" metal wing, with 23mm VYa cannons and the larger panels on the wingroot. I can't tell if they have the larger wingroot panels, but they do have the 23mm-type cannon fairings. From these, it's apparent that the late single-seater metal wing had metal ailerons (at least for Zavod 18 and this production batch). They don't appear to have the external carburettor filter intakes, but perhaps these haven't been installed yet on the production line.
Regards,
Jason

Hi Jason, perhaps... We'll have to check again because I thought to have seen photos with fabric-covered ailerons. Regards Massimo

Nice link, Konstantin, thank you! Is that Zavod 18 in the background?
Regards,
Jason

It's "Aviakor", former Zavod 18 in the background. more photos of the restored Il-2 in Samara at: http://samara-ru.livejournal.com/5832814.html

I think that they went a little overboard in making this Shturmovik weatherproof! I'm surprised they didn't make the canopy completely metal.
Regards,
Jason

Massimo, this may be a fabric-covered aileron on a late single-seater metal wing. Regards, Jason

Good image Jason. Is it a part of a larger photo? It could be useful to check the hatches on the wing.
Hi Konstantin, the plane in Samara isn't exactly a jewel. Prop and spinner are of another plane... but at least are there.
Regards Massimo

Hi Jason, thank you. On the single-seater, the hatches are really rectangular. Regards Massimo
