Title: 1941/43 repainted planes Post by: Massimo Tessitori on March 27, 2011, 11:19:24 PM Hi,
I've made a provisional page on repainted planes. http://mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/colors/1941-43rep/1941-43repainted.html (http://mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/colors/1941-43rep/1941-43repainted.html) Please, let me know any suggestion on this. Regards Massimo Title: Re: 1941/43 repainted planes Post by: John Thompson on March 28, 2011, 10:32:01 PM Another excellent resource - thank you, Massimo!

I've made some updates adding some photos of I-16 and Pe-2. Have you some interesting images of early camouflages in your archive, please? Regards Massimo Title: Re: 1941/43 repainted planes Post by: John Thompson on March 29, 2011, 12:12:21 AM Here's another photo of the last aircraft in the I-16 part of the document:
(http://s2.postimage.org/1r2sqxquc/I_16_odd_insignia_2.jpg) (http://postimage.org/image/1r2sqxquc/) The marking on the tail is the uniform insignia (called "the hen") of VVS aircrew members from December 1936 to January 1943. It's also my avatar... ;) John Title: Re: 1941/43 repainted planes Post by: Massimo Tessitori on March 29, 2011, 07:38:28 AM Hi John,
thank you for your help. For what you know, what does this insigna mean on a plane? Some units? Regards Massimo Title: Re: 1941/43 repainted planes Post by: John Thompson on March 29, 2011, 04:55:15 PM Hi John, thank you for your help. For what you know, what does this insigna mean on a plane? Some units? Regards Massimo The only other information I have is the caption on this profile; maybe someone can offer a translation, since it's an image, not text, and can't just be copied to a translation site: (http://s2.postimage.org/1xdx7xkbo/I_16_odd_insignia_3.jpg) (http://postimage.org/image/1xdx7xkbo/) John Title: Re: 1941/43 repainted planes Post by: KL on March 29, 2011, 07:24:50 PM "I-16 Type 10 captured as a war trophy by German Armies in summer 1941. Silver top and sides were carelessly brush painted in green. Note the VVS RKKA insignia painted on the vertical tail."
