Really good images. Thank you , John, for sharing them.
I am wondering if the Yak is camouflaged, At a first look, the green looks uniform, but I haven't yet tried to increase the contrast.
About the lighter color: according to the idea emerged from the discussion on arcforum, it could be faded A-19f. I think that the wooden parts are AII green. The two colors could have been identical when new, but aged in different way.

Hi Massimo! I thought exactly the same thing - the Yak appears to be finished in only one colour on its upper surfaces. I tried experimenting with the brightness and contrast, but I could not see anything different. It's interesting too that there is a glossy appearance to the upper surface of the wing, but I believe that this is a characteristic of the AII colours, isn't it?

Hi John,
yes, AII green and also of A-19F. I wonder if they have utilized AII on metal surfaces too, I think that they were very similar when new.

Hi Massimo,
AII Zashch. seems to be routinely used on metal surfaces after special primer (?) was applied and heat-dried. Same procedure was maintained with AMT-4.
Combination of 2 paints, i.e. A-19f metal/AII Z rest or A-24m/AMT-4, is probable.
Cheers,
Mario

Hi Mario,
AII Z should be the commonly called AII green, isn't it?

Hi Massimo,
AII Z was officially called "zashchitnyi", so was 4BO but it was commonly known it was green.
Cheers,
Mario

Here's another photo of that LaGG-3 with the aluminum fuselage band; it's been heavily overprinted with copy protection marks, but it's possibly useful:  John |

New update on avia-n-aero.ru: http://www.avia-n-aero.ru/photo.phpApproximately 250 new images (6 pages plus) of German photos. One problem - now that the owner of the site is using it to sell books (possibly has found a sponsor, ozon.ru? This is a good thing, if it keeps the site alive), viewing the images requires a lot of extra scrolling in both vertical and horizontal directions because of the awkward and variable way the screen is split. Some of these I haven't seen before, despite dredging through ebay.de almost every day for the past couple of years. There must be other national ebay sites I haven't stumbled on yet where some of these great photos have been auctioned. Enjoy! John |
