Hi Troy and Jason,
the plane was certainly an arrow built in Z.18 because the flushed fairing of the gun is recognizable.
This is not the latest version of the drawing: the marks on the fuselage should have a narrow division part. Jason, I have to send to you the latest version.
By the way, when will your book be published?
Regards
Massimo
Massimo, I'm still waiting on the Tamiya 1/72nd scale model to review. After that, it's some tidying up and re-reading and proofing and it's ready. I've just received some very nice photographs of the flyable Il-2 (Flying Heritage Musuem), so I have all my photographs of the still existing Shturmoviks. By the end of June it will be available in e-book format, at least.
Regards,
Jason
