Could this be a new photo of the familiar "Za Rodinu" MiG-3? It's different from the three photos shown on Massimo's web page for this aircraft. The focus and resolution are very good:  Link to Massimo's page for comparison: http://mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/mig3/zarodinu.htmlJohn |

It looks like the same aircraft - look at the dark patch (black) on the tail; it appears the same.

Yes, there's no question that it's the same aircraft; what I meant was, it might be a new and better photo of that aircraft. John |

Hi John and Jason,
yes' it's in better condition than already available photos. The detail of the inside of the cowling panel is noteworthy too.
Regards
Massimo

Very interesting, thank you for sharing.
The dark color on the tail and rear fuselage is clearly black, but the faded color on the fuselage sides and wings is more ambiguous. Probably faded black.
Regards
Massimo

Thanks, Warhawk - it's always interesting to see colour photos of GPW aircraft, although I assume this photo was taken during Operation Barbarossa. Here's a (black and white) photo I saved some time ago; I found it yesterday while I was going through my folders looking for I-16 details. It's apparently a type 5 (sliding canopy; guns in the wings only, not the fuselage; teardrop-shaped exhaust outlets in the cowling), and yet it has the T-shaped oil cooler intake as is usually seen on the type 10 and type 17. This is unusual for a type 5, I think; so far, I haven't found any other ones like it, nor have I seen this on any drawings of the type 5:  Comments? John |

Hi John,
maybe a repair with a non-original piece, or an example of an intermediate version?
Regards
Massimo

Possibly useful image of an I-153:  This was taken near Minsk, in what I like to call "The Valley of the Polikarpovs" - a surprising number of photos have been offered on ebay.de over the years showing wrecked aircraft in this small valley, most of them seeming to be I-153's. Very few closeups like this one, though. John |

Nice photograph, John - it shows nice details of the underwing bomb racks and the wheel wells. Unfortunately I'm on a Lavochkin kick right now (I've got a LaGG-3, an La-5, and a La-5F all in various stages of completion) so I'll have to put this photo away until I get back to my FrankenChaika (that's the one that has parts from like 5 kits - no exaggeration - all to try and make one reasonably accurate I-153 - ICM where are you?). Hmmm, "The Valley of the Polikarpovs", wasn't that written by Anton Chekov?
Regards,
Jason
