Title: Interesting decoration on Yak-1's nose. Post by: M_Bykov on November 09, 2005, 08:16:35 AM Here You are one of Yaks of famous 9 GIAP, 1943. Nose decoration is unusual and interesting, IMHO :o. Sadly, the tactical No of a/c is unknown :-\.

Thanks for sharing it Massimo Title: Re: Interesting decoration on Yak-1's nose. Post by: M_Bykov on November 09, 2005, 08:30:02 AM More reliable, IMHO - it's the non-standard 'continuation' of a/c undersides' blue colour.
Title: Re: Interesting decoration on Yak-1's nose. Post by: Massimo Tessitori on November 09, 2005, 08:41:02 AM There is an oblique line vaguely resembling the lower lip in the lower part. To my eyes, it looks to separe the "mouth" from the camo on the lower side. (isn't there a smiley with a magnifying lens?)
