Good work, but surely not red tail tip.

Hi,
do you mean that the color should be another one, or that there should be not any cap?

Of course, the cap at 110 is clearily visible. But it is light, not red. Probably white, as at 21.

Hi,
my impression is that the cap is comparable to the shade of the red star on the fuselage.

Hmm, but also the cap is comparable to the shade of 110 number. Maybe the number is red too?

Other I-152, "5" of 42 IAP - my impression is the very wide dark(red?) obluque band with light outlines. The number 5 and the winged star are placing at that band. So "cap" in regular green.

Hi,
I saw the plane drawn in such way, but I think that it is wrong. The lower line can easily be a piece of adhesive tape on the edge of the metalic fillet of the fin, often seen on Polikarpovs. The darker impression of the fin can be due to its different inclination compared to the skin of the top of the fuselage. Photos of other planes of the same unit, without the tape, don't give the impression of a dark band on the sides of the tail.

No reason for bi-color spinner of №51. Also 51 looks full white, not blue.
No reason for bi-color spinner of №21.

And the most of bi-color spinners loks less contast at the photos, than "bi-color" tail of white 5.
What about that "can be due to its different inclination" ? ;-)

And the color of 110 number should be same as the cap color.

Sorry my criticism :-)

Hi PG,
about the n.51: I have a color photo somewhere that, although of bad quality, when the shades of green are corrected, shows a sort of grey-blue-green inside the number, certainly bi-color.  It is not impossible that they utilized some blue-green, but I think more likely that it was light blue, that was much more utilized. I'll look for that scan to show it.
About the bi-color spinner, I think you are right, it looks the same plane of the photo above. Hard to say the color, that is lighter than the engine cowling; I think more likely that it was solid red.
About n.21, the spinner can't be seen on the photo, it is a guess of Tapani. Do you know other photos of planes of this unit?
About the different inclination, if this is referred to 110, the rudder looks angled and the light is from behind, so it receives much more light than the fin. To say something more reliable, another photo from another inclination would be necessary.
Your criticism is legitimate, of course, please put into discussion all what you think wrong.
Regards
Massimo

Hi,
I had already corrected and updated it, but for some reasons it doesn't show the new version. Perhaps it is only a matter of cache. If it isn't changed within a pair of days, please remind it to me and I'll try some other way, maybe changing the name of the image.

Thank you, finally I see the changes, full-red spinner.
BTW, 176 giap page still not changed. I checked from home and work computers.

Hi PG,
I've modified the name of the file too, because it reported the same error. You have to correct the link or, better, to reach it from the page

Interesting photo dated 22 December 1941 titled "Aircraft in repair at a Moscow factory during WWII"
take a note on the last aircraft in the line. Is that 3 colour upper camouflage?

Interesting photo of difficult interpretation.
I think to see only two shades, but I could be wrong.
Look at the piece of wing of the first plane, full of dark spots. Some deterioration?
