Hi,
really great!
This shows not only the camouflage of the Li-2, but shows La-5FN and La-7 of 4 GIAP KBF, confirming that the types had differently shaped white painting on the tail.
Regards
Massimo

Do you have proof about 4 GIAP KBF ?

Hi,
not a proof, but this is in line with what expected both on La-5FN and La-7 of this unit.

Hi, some interesting photos

http://scalemodels.ru/modules/forum/img_1364857_1491147422_collage_lb_image_page6_15_1.jpg.html
This should be a Yak-1 of Lyla Litviak in winter camouflage. To tell the truth, the caption says that the mechanic is on the wing, but I see it on the ground.

http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/zaika70/23537416/21247/21247_original.jpg
Here we see photos of crew of 117 giap. Behind them, on the low, one can recognize the nose and the tail of an interesting Yak fighter (Yak-1b?) with an eye and probably a sharkmouth and a nice regimental emblem on its tail. On another photo, the bort number is readable but I am not sure that it is the same plane.

These La's can be of any guards regiment of 1st guards ftr division of KBF (3, 4, 10 giap). Or may be some other unknown unit.

Hi,
perhaps they could be of another unit, but:
the tail of the La-5FN is just as those known of 4 giap kbf;
the tail of the La-7 is just as the only known photo of 4 giap kbf;
the number 70 and the visible characteristics of the camo are compatible with the known photos of the plane of Golubev.
It would be good to look for further informations, of course. I was told that some photos of his plane, still unpublished, do exist.
Of course, I hope that the next book of Milos Vestsik will give further informations.
Regards
Massimo

Hi,
I am impressed for this photo found on Scalemodels.ru



It shows a La-5 with a winter painting, where the light color has replaced green. They were discussing if the light color could be aluminium instead of white.

Here is it

The discussion is also about the possibility to distinguish white and silver on bw photos.

Hi,
interesting photo and interesting discussion at scalemodels.ru.
Anyhow, IMHO this La-5 has thin, a bit translucent layer of the white over green. Instructions said that original camo had to be partially visible under the field-applied white winter camo.

Hi Misos,
I think that it is traslucent white, that when overposed to green appears as a sort of light grey.  Looking at the shadowed part close to the numbers on the fuselage sides, I see that it goes into shadow as the white paint of the digits, while a metallic paint should easily show reflections on the parts in shadow.
I wonder if the lighter thin outlines of the white bands are real, or an effect of a strong compression of the image; JPG can make such artifacts where the darkness changes sharply. On the other hand, it can also be that the white bands have a thicker layer of paint along the outlines because they were at first contoured, then filled.
Regards
Massimo

Facebook is really good for finding images I have never seen before.
Here are a few of Russian aircraft on the Japanese front.
No other information as to units on the site these came from.

The first photo has hand writing but I cant decipher the font.

Great images, particularly those of Yaks. Thank you for sharing them.
I think to have already seen the photo of the line of Pe-2s on the ground, attributed to the Yugoslavian front.
I wonder what is the color of the MBR-2. The colors of seaplanes are still unclear.

Do you recognize what models the Yaks are? Also the one with the arrow wing logo under the canopy on the fuselage I have never seen that one before.
Any clues to its squadron?
