Hi John,
thank you for this link. These images are absolutely impressive.
I saw them on a movie, there are a pair of profiles of them on my page. But now that I see static photos, I think that they will need some corrections.
Those planes were employed for a whole movie. Perhaps were repainted with this beautiful scheme to improve the effect.
Regards
Massimo

Prokhor says that planes belonged to an operational squadron and that they were painted in standard black-green scheme. Clearly, black was brushed over green.
Not repainted for the movie...

Did you notice the one (b/n 41) with the "spear tip" on the spinner? Interesting decoration!
