Loocking for pics of planes of general Zakharov of the 303 IAD

[xan]

Hello I'm searching pics or profils of planes of the general Zakharov of the 303 IAD
Exept the very well know yak-3,



I'm interested in his Spanich war planes (a I-15) the I-16 he flawn during the barbarossa operation, and over all the la-5 the french normandie-niemens documents always speak about...
In the "Icare" revue, there are two pics of it but it only shows the propeler part, and there is no way to see the code of the plane...
If someone had something, I will be very pleased!

Hi Xan, 

Sorry no pics again!
Check this page for G. Zaharov's biography:  http://www.clubnn.ru/ru/showthread.php?t=50

I browsed through it and it says that on airshows in 1936 Zaharov flew his commander's silver  I-15.  in 1938 in China as a squadron commander he flew I-15bis marked with big "0"

Cheers,

very interesting!
 but not enough to build a model with this only information...
My next project is precisely an I-152 in Halkin-gol, the Zakharov's plane could be an option...

Interesting that Normandie-Niemen commander's Yak-3 was marked with "00" 
Louis Delfino's Yak-3

Hi,
look at this photo of the plane of Zacharov:

The prop blades are clearly grey, not black.
A stencil is well visible, so it has likely come ouf from the factory in this way.
