Title: Stepanyan's Il-2 n.10

Hi,
a new drawing (noo... one again?) of a plane thought to have been flown by Stepanyan

N.G.Stepanyan, 57 PShAP of Red Banner Baltic Fleet (KBF) at the Leningrad airport in November 1941.

Around him, G.S.Nelson and Potapov.
Below, an image of his plane n.10. This seem built in Z.18 around September 1941. It has a wooden fuselage (but we see a repair close to the star fixed by small nails), unusually large red stars with white outlines and a sharp camouflage with an horizontal band on its tail. The canopy is likely of the early style.

Regards
Massimo

You can never have too many Il-2 profiles, Massimo!
