Hello,
Thank you for your quick response.....
I see it in a similar way, according to all available documents
![Huh](http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/board/Smileys/default/huh.gif)
? the aircraft is said to have been manufactured before the outbreak of war. At that time, the old regulation with AII blue, AII green...
So one could assume that the machine was originally manufactured in the factory livery AII-Blue and AII-Green??? When the war broke out, the black bands AII-Black, possibly even AMT-6 Black, were either still in the factory or already on the airfield. Then came the winter paint job with the onset of winter and the touch ups thereafter the following spring which were done with AMT-4 Green and AMT-6 Black??? Hence the very mottled appearance of the machine, surely.
I would build the machine as it was in the winter of 1941/42....... the original one??? Paint AII- Blue, and AII- Green, completed with black stripes, a mixture of AII- Black and AMT-6 Black, satin varnish, the AII colors were all at least semi-gloss, and then the winter camouflage in MK-7 white, Apply matt as spots (according to drawing and photo templates).
Would that be a working basis that you would go along with from a historical standpoint???
