Hi Misos,
looks very nice.
The photo of the nose puts into evidence the change in section between the reductor zone and the cylinder banks zone where it is more squared. Maybe the highlighting of the fuselage could put into evidence this thing in some way?

Hi  Massimo,
thank you for comment. I reworked shining on the nose according to the some photos (not very good) I have found on he net. It definitely looks different from the noses on Yak-9x. I already replaced picture in my post above.
Here is the view from the right side:

Hi Misos,
I would raise the lower outline of the highlight up to over the panel line in the exhaust area to show that the part is nearly flat, it could descend in the reduction gear area to show the section becoming round.
I must admit that I haven't compared it to other Yaks, but I would be surprised if they were different.

Massimo

Post by: 66misos on January 06, 2018, 07:02:44 PM
Hi Massimo,
those dark areas is my interpretation of the curved undersurfaces - check the side view. I checked it on my 1/48 Yak-1 nad Yak-3 kits - when the sun is on 10-11 o'clock and some 45° above then the shadows looks like that. May be not 100% correct, but it is my vision.

Photo of this plane is not publicly known but this sketch was drawn according to the private photo and memories of Nosov himself:

Hi,
thank you for comments. :)
Massimo, I know, it is not 100% confirmed - may be stencils disapeared under field overall repaint, may be they were put there again, may be it is overall single grey already from the factory like on some Lavochkins... This was my choice. At the end, stencils were there for instructions and warnings, so quite important.

Here is the original:

A comment Misos

the '86' is a little too neat and regular,   in both the photo of  '86' and '87'  the number, while stencilled, in the case of 87, the '7' is smaller, in the case of '86',
note the '6' is slightly lower then the '8' and maybe a little bigger.

it looks like the painter has used the bottom line of the fuselage as his reference,  and so the numbers are also leaning forward a little, and the 6 is slightly lower,   yours are aligned with the upper fuselage line.

If you imagine the plane at rest on the ground, and then painting it with a stencil, using the lower furlage as a guide, you can see how the alignment  I mention happens.
 
A small detail, but I know your work is very carefully observed, usually I have nothing to add, and the site does not have a 'like this' facility, and I try to avoid thread clutter so don't post  comments.

cheers
T

Hi Troy,
thank you for comment.
I know exactly what you mean. Photos of "86" are either from a distance and fuzzy or from close but from sharp angle and perspective, so in both cases not very clear.
Therefore as a refference I used also other photos with the same "rounded" digits from the same regiment.
These "long" three-digits numbers looks similarly to what you described:
(http://www.airfield.narod.ru/yak/yak-3/color/photo_yak-3_39.jpg)
(http://www.airfield.narod.ru/yak/yak-3/color/photo_yak-3_38.jpg)

However, this "short" two-digits "99" looks to be aligned neither to the bottom not to the top, but to the edge where upper vertical part of the fuselage changes to rounded. The star is aligned in the same way:
(http://www.airfield.narod.ru/yak/yak-3/color/photo_yak-3_37.jpg)

All "rounded" digits look to have the same dimensions - IMHO they measured, drawn and cut templates/stencil from the paper individual digits.
I always superposition semitransparent photo over drawing and adjust angle and perspective as much as possible to match overall plane shapes and then I draw details like stars, numbers, emblems ets. It does not work 100% always, but it helps a lot.
Regards,
   66misos

Post by: Massimo Tessitori on January 09, 2018, 06:16:28 PM
Hi Misos, hi Troy,
now that I see, the photo of 86 shows that the digits are not only rotated, but shifted too. The 6 is not aligned with the x axis of the 8, but moved downwards.

Massimo

Post by: Graham Boak on January 28, 2018, 10:23:21 PM
The contrast with the red in the stars on the tail and fuselage suggest that the background to the figure is not red.  I've a feeling I've seen this before as blue, and also as yellow, but not red.


Title: Re: Yakovlev Yak-3 profiles
Post by: Massimo Tessitori on January 29, 2018, 07:51:28 AM
Hi,
I think that it can well be red. It appears light in the same photos where the stars and the banner of the emblem appear light, and dark in another one. Besides I remember the discussion where the iconography of S.George had usually a red background.
I have some doubt about the outline of the arrow, because I think to see it as dark on the front of the arrow of the first photo. If so, the outline could have been dark blue instead of red.
Regards
Massimo


Title: Re: Yakovlev Yak-3 profiles
Post by: 66misos on January 29, 2018, 08:27:08 AM
Hi,
thank you for comments.
Here is discussion about the color of the embelem - red or others - http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/board/index.php?topic=1773.0 (http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/board/index.php?topic=1773.0). While red color has at least historical background while other colors are only guessing, I decided for red.
Regardding arrow outline - also outer outline of the red stars quite often looks darker than star, althought it it surely red. I do not know why. Thicker layer of color...? Plus red was very usual paint in the regiments. While dark blue was unusual at regiments, no standard use for it.
(http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g64/PoorOldSpike/sub4/Yak3.jpg)

There is also question about board number. Some authors paint there no. 1, others nothing. From the link above "Zaharov's Yak-3 belonged to division stab... it had white arrow, number should have been at mid-fuselage, close to the arrow's break". Similar like many other N-N Yaks.
IMHO original number at the mid-fuselage was overpanted with the big emblem, e.g. there was no board number.

Hi Misos,

About the inscription in the emblem, I think that it's better to revise the space between the letters.  I suppose that some outlines are painted in golden paint.

Massimo

Post by: 66misos on February 01, 2018, 07:20:29 PM
Hi Massimo,
thank you :) I reworked the whole inscription in the emblem. I used only standard colors widely available in the aircraft factories. IMHO nothing like golden paint was on hand there that time.

Hi Misos,
excellent work as usual.
Only, I suggest to reconsider the shade of the outline of the sky in the emblem. Can be that it was not golden paint, but it is much lighter than the black you've utilized.
If the ring is intended as a lifebelt, it could be that the lower part of the white half was painted light grey to represent a shadow on a curved surface.

Massimo

Hi Misos,
great work as always.
The spiral on the photo becomes wider rearwards, and the inclination should be less so it arrives in different way on the upwards blade root.
The wing emblem should be a bit shorter when compared to the exhaust pipes. The 4 needs to be revised too.

Massimo

Hi Misos,
excellent work, but I think that the number 4 should be reconsidered. I think to see that the upper part of the vertical leg should end higher and parallel to the oblique brace, and the part protruding on the right should be reduced and nearly disappear. Besides I think that the numbers should end rounded on their lower part, and probably 1 have 'noses'.

Massimo

Hi Massimo,
thank you for comment.
here is another Yak-3 from 402 iap:
(http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w43/Renato71/SovietAirForceFighterColours1941-2.jpg)
Digit "1" really has "nose" so I added it also to mine. Plus, number "1" is angular, not rounded. So I left all digits in the number 114 also angular, not rounded. However, didit "4" again is slightly reworked, even also this is speculative and only theoretical - the photo of 114 is not very clear and sharp and does not show much of digit "4".
The final reworked profile is in my post above.

(http://img.wp.scn.ru/camms/ar/268/pics/1_24.jpg)

and replica of Yak-3 from 1994 painted according to EP instructions:
(https://www.flyinglegends.com/medias/2014/06/Yak-3-Pic-1-560x400.jpg)

On the photo of original "White 100" the prop blades look really light. According to the standard they could by either black or grey. Here they look either weathered/bleached grey or white - same as the prop spinner. ???

Hello misos. My compliments for the very nice profile. Since I am trying to build Ermokhin's Yak-3 in 1/72 scale, I am very interested in your work. I do have a question for you though. To your knowledge, was the white heart with the eagle depicted on both sides pf the fuselage or only on the left ?

Hi Plator,

thank you, I am glad you like the profile  :)
Unfortunately, I do not know photo of this plane from the other side. However, planes with such "complicated/advanced" personal graphics are often, or almost exclusively photographed only from one side. It could mean that there was nothing interesting on the other side, but it is only my guess. I personally would put it only on one side.
Happy modelling.

Hi,
here is Yak-3 from 18 giap, 303 iad, Germany, spring 1945:

Discussion about this plane was at http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/board/index.php?topic=2483.0 (http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/board/index.php?topic=2483.0)

Hi Misos,
in my idea, the bolt has a forked tail, and a bit of dark grey under it.  The grey-grey division on the rudder should be nearly horizontal.

Massimo

Hi Massimo,
I will correct that rudder.
However, I do not see forked tail of the bold, but only one slash along the entire width of the lightning. It looks more like some blotch - some primer or repair at the lower part of the lightning end:

Hi Misos,
I see, it doesn't look forked. Just I see that the bolts are made by mask, and it is likely that the same mask was used more than once.

Massimo

Hi Massimo,
rudder corrected, tail of the lightning modified with the "repair":
(https://www.modelforum.cz/download/file.php?id=1595835)

On the page with photos http://ava.org.ru/iap/18g.htm (http://ava.org.ru/iap/18g.htm) the almost all aircraft from 1945 have white board number and lightning, like these:
(http://ava.org.ru/iap/18g/yak3_17.jpg)
(http://ava.org.ru/iap/18g/yak3_19.jpg)

But this one is again interesting:
(http://ava.org.ru/iap/18g/yak3_12.jpg)
- Board number is pretty bright, probably (fresh) white.
- Lightning (forked tail) is darker than board number but seems to have same shade as stars outline - very dirty white? silver?, yellow?
- Shade of the red star is darker than the shade of the lightning.

Work in progress:

Logically there was not any yellow at all.

Hi PG monster,

I guess you speak about aircraft with board number "12".
Should star outline and lightning be silver (serebrjonka), btw. my preffered option?

Regarding aircraft "19" - number and lightning are white, same as star outline on the tail. But star outline on the fuselage looks silver. ???

Check this http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/board/index.php?topic=2336.msg22367#msg22367 (http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/board/index.php?topic=2336.msg22367#msg22367) Is it correct?

Hi,
here is finished, hopefully, Yak-3 b.n. "12", same regiment and time as "Yellow 24" above. In this case I decided for silver lightning and star outline:

Hi Misos,
nice work.
In a photo, there is a n.47 on the background that seems to have only the frontal section of the arrow.

Great job too! Note: the spot on (and near) the lower right corner of 5 digit is the photo-defect or a dirt. Better to remove it, or paint a spot over 5 too.

Most probably another shade of white (worn-out). Anyway the "serebryanka" looks much preferable than yellow.

Cool art, as always!
Only note - the number outline should be red, accordingly memoirs of pilot Kalyuzhnyi.

Hi PG monster,
Thank you for comments.

"White 15" - you are probably right about that defect oh the photo.
  EDIT: Corrected:

"White 12" - interesting info about red outline of the board number. Were memoirs of pilot Kalyuzhnyi published? So is it publicly known info?

Hi Misos,
I've received some interesting informations from Mr.Arnaud of the museum of Bourget.
The Yak-3 exposed there had yellow-orange stars when flying with 18 IAP and with number 21. I'll try to know more.
Would you be interested to trace a profile of it?

Regards
Massimo

Hi Massimo,
Yes, I would try it - side view. Any photo showing camo and marking details as well as info about colors would be very helpfull.

Hi Misos,
Mr. Arnaud has written that they are working on a page of profiles by themselves, so I think that it's better to wait before drawing it.
By the way, I see that we haven't any profile of Yak-1b with standard grey template till now, would you consider to draw one in the future?
Best regards
Massimo

Hi Massimo,
no problem. I have what to do ;-)

...Yak-3 exposed there had yellow-orange stars when flying with 18 IAP and with number 21...

I guess he meant this one:

(https://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/pages/yak3/bougetrestor.jpg)

I wonder if that orange color on the star is original VVS shade, or weathered/bleached standard VVS red, or what.

Anyhow, compare orange shade with this red star on Il-2. Seems not so unusual:

Hi Misos,
very interesting photo.  On some stars there is that orange look, in other ones not. The question is if the orange look was there seventy years ago, or is due to the degradation of some pigments.
The layers of blue paint on the Il-2 are interesting too. One is A-28m as shown on Nakrasok, one seems AMT-7, and the greyest one... who knows? AMT-16?
Regards
Massimo

The yellowish / orange color in the area of ​​the stars could be a primer.  Primer ALG 5 was used, which was greenish / greyish and primer ALG 1, which was zinc / chromate, yellowish / orange.
 Or ALG 2 ?, that was a nitro kit that was used for wood surfaces and fabric surfaces.  Probably proven by photos of MiG-3 and LaGG-3 parts / fragments in Finnish museums.

Hi,
I don't think that it was a primer. According to some Russians, the A-13 red often changed to orange with ageing, looks the most likely explanation. This didn't happen with AII red, they wrote.

Great job, but I think the numbesr 15 are different planes. Reasons: 1. Different divisions and even corps, and even army branch (VVS and PVO)
2. Different camo spots.
