Hi,
Red Stars suggests 'fighter unit of the 9th army air force'. I don't remember where 145 comes out. What is the right unit in your knowledge?
Regards
Massimo

Dear friends,
It seems that there has been a misprint, a thing that is unavoidable when you have lots of information.
From the Maslov book on the I-15bis of 2003 we find:
“I - 15bis, serial number 4616, flight number “173”, from the 2nd squadron of the 152nd IAP (formerly belonged to the 4th squadron of the 19th IAP) of the 9th Army VVS, made an emergency landing on the ice of Lake Oulujärvi on 24 December 1939. The pilot, Lieutenant Y.A. Andreev, shot himself. The aircraft was fully operational and already in February 1940 was introduced into the Finnish Air Force under the designation VH-11. Later it was designated VH–2, and since 1943 - Sh–2. Had several accidents, operated until 1945”
Regards
Daniele

Hi Bernard,
thank you for posting these photos. They are good models, and the whole collection is impressive for being so complete.
I'm happy that the profiles of Tapani have found such a good use.
Regards
Massimo

Hi, excellent photo indeed. The winter painting on I-15bis has been rarely seen, besides it shows a lot of details.
Regards
Massimo
