Title: Il-4 "Seriozha Partizan" Post by: 66misos on June 27, 2019, 09:28:00 AM Hi Massimo,
according to link http://forums.airforce.ru/do-1945/7279-zavodskie-nomera-db-3-il-4-a/ (http://forums.airforce.ru/do-1945/7279-zavodskie-nomera-db-3-il-4-a/) the plane Il-4 "Seriozha Partizan" from 3 GvAPDD had production number 5403904 and was produced on March 31, 1944. (http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/pages/db3-il4/tapani/partisan44ph.jpg) It means this plane should have already 3-color camouflage on uppersurface, probably one of these: (http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/pages/colors/1943-45-bombers/tem-il4-43r.jpg) or (http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/pages/colors/1943-45-bombers/tem-il4-43-br.jpg) Acticle posted on Czech Modelforum https://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=126631&start=45#p2227962 (https://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=126631&start=45#p2227962) gives this camouflage: (https://www.modelforum.cz/download/file.php?id=1506070) May be you could consider to rework profile at http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/pages/db3-il4/tapani/partisan44.html (http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/pages/db3-il4/tapani/partisan44.html) (http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/pages/db3-il4/tapani/partisan44-t.jpg) regards, 66misos Title: Re: Il-4 "Seriozha Partizan" Post by: Massimo Tessitori on June 27, 2019, 02:35:57 PM Hi Misos,
thank you for the warning. I've put the page with the profile out of line waiting for a possible solution. Unfortunately I don't think that Tapani still has the multilayer version of the drawing, so it is difficult that this drawing will be corrected. About an old discussion on late Il-4s: this photo shows the angle of the leading edge well, one could use it for some graphic construction to decide if this plane had an arrow wing console.
