Searching for VVS Photos

Warning - This post contains an image of a damaged MiG-3 which may be disturbing to some! Viewer discretion is advised!

Just joking!!! Here's a really good photo with excellent resolution which I found on ebay.de:



In it, the variation between paint colours on metal (A-19) and wood/fabric (AII Z) can be seen quite well; also some detail around the engine and wing flap areas. I also like the clearly-visible tail number and the rib/fabric detail on the rudder. It's unfortunate that the "DEMO" overprint is stamped right on the cockpit area.

Hi John,
good image.
The plane on the background looks a MiG-1, it features different landing gear door shape.

Hi,
what type of plane is this dotted one? A DB-3, maybe?

Hi Massimo,

A DB-3M for sure.

Cheers,

[Massimo Tessitori]

Thank you AaCee. The painting with small dots seems an interesting livery, even if not very disruptive.

Good head-on detail photo of MiG-3 nose and wing; I was lucky to find this one - the seller didn't know what it was, and titled it as a Spitfire or Hurricane:
