Hi,
yes, in particularly, pity that no trace of the original number is visible. The repainted stars can be detected, but not the number. However, some black, white and yellow can add interest to an unusual profile.

Oops - duh! I thought the glazing on the upper nose looked wrong and the cowlings looked a bit too tapered (both points as compared to photos of *real* Il-4's), but I also thought it might be a different version of this aircraft. Thanks for the correction - I modified my post accordingly!  John |

although I have seen other photos of Il-2's with Yaroslavskii Komsomolets on them (single-seat and two-seat) I have not seen this particular image before.
KUDOS !

that's a DB-3 , not an Il-4
I'm not sure what version of the DB-3 it is,as I prefer the Il-4
(note the different shape of the nose)
