From Alex: a 172 iap Yak-3 serial 0726 force landed in late 1944, pilot POW, the plane went to the German test center and was test flown in Gross Schimanen. Regards Massimo

Intersting and new image!I think that the band on which the star lies has the original color, while the light parts are repainted with an unknown matt paint, perhaps more light shades that appear indistinguishable in the photo. regards Massimo

Very interesting plane! Its undersurfaces are painted with a dark color, compatible with the red of the stars. I think it was some high visibility livery for some exhibition. Regards Massimo

A seemingly-standard "Ishachok". But what is that thing in front of the windscreen? A sighting device, or a windshield of something else behind the plane? source HERE

Hi Warhawk,
Support for tubular gun sight. I suppose this is an I-16 type 5 which is retrofitted with later type windscreen. It was quite common modification.
Cheers,
AaCee

Could it be red brown? I have seen such primer utilized on the Il-2 and LaGG-3. Regards Massimo
