Nice links, thanks.

Also, for a plethora of Yugoslav Il-2, Yak and other scale models and discussions, please visit top Serbian and Croatian forums: Maketarski kutak and Otvoreni maketarski forum

Cheers!

Thank you, there is something about Yugoslav Pe-2s too.
They are drawn as grey and green, I wonder if this is the standard for postwar Yugoslavian planes, or if it should be grey/grey as Soviet ones.

The standard for postwar Yugoslav planes was either Single Gray uppers and lightblue lower (as seen on Il-2, Yak-3 and Bf-109 at the Surčin Museum), Or Gray and green upper cammo as seen on museum's F-47D (similar to British cammo, but again light blue lower surfaces were used).
64 Pe-2s were obtained from USSR in 1945, and a further 89 in 1947 from Bulgaria as war reparation, these were extensively overhauled.

Here you can see the pathetic state in which the sole remaining Pe-2 is "preserved" somewhere at the backyard of the museum
