Title: Notes about Il-4 camo topic Post by: Psy06 on April 14, 2012, 02:35:56 AM Massimo, Hi :) I like your work on camouflage IL-4 ;D.
Apparently it is good, in Russia, for unknown reason so far no one has studied enough this issue. But you made the mistake of using as a basis for the profiles of IL-4, the profile of DB-3F. Actually its a different plane. In this connection, there is a greater absurdity, as the camouflage that you have restored, was never used for DB-3F.

thank you for the warning. I know that the drawings of Il-4 were made in a hurry, I was interested to trace the patterns only and I'm satisfied with the result for the black-green pattern, but the part on three shades camo is still unconclusive. One day I'll make much better drawings, or better, I hope that Saivila will do this and let me upload his drawings.

Saivila Hi, sorry for late answer. Its very wide question:) If very short - Il-4 as standart of production series at 1943 was: Differ engine cowlings Differ oil system. Differ exausts tail cowl made from wood Pilot pit' fairing made from wood Some planes have wood nose Reiforced ribs at rear part of fuselage Very many differents in the aircraft' equipment At 1944 production series differs was mach greater: Differ oil sys Differ flaps Differ elevators Differ equipment All of it about plane with streamline wing.

I'm making some researches on the late Il-4, on their wings in particular. Could you answer to the questions of this topic, please? http://sovietwarplanes.com/board/index.php?topic=1357.0 (http://sovietwarplanes.com/board/index.php?topic=1357.0) Regards Massimo Title: Re: Notes about Il-4 camo topic Post by: Psy06 on June 08, 2012, 01:22:00 PM From our collegue from scalemodels.ru
Quote from: dabbler Вопрос касаемо левого борта Ил-4 №69 "Отважный". Знаю точно, на левом борту этого самолета надпись "Отважный" располагалась полукругом над фюзеляжной звездой. Видел фото в крылышках годов 80-х, а найти не могу! Quote from: translation The issue with regards to the left side of the IL-4 № 69 "Brave." I know for sure, on the left side of the aircraft label "Brave," a semi-circle located on top-around the fuselage star. Saw a photo in the "Krilya Rodiny" of the 80's ("Крылья Родины" soviet most old aviation magazine), and can't find it! Title: Re: Notes about Il-4 camo topic Post by: Massimo Tessitori on June 08, 2012, 02:38:28 PM Hi Psy,
this is interesting. Was there the slogan 'brave' on the left side of the fuselage? Besides: I would understand the difference in flaps and ailerons of Il-4s built in 1944.

And a photo exists. Title: Re: Notes about Il-4 camo topic Post by: Massimo Tessitori on June 13, 2012, 05:07:51 PM Hi,
