Il-2

[PG monster]

Some corrections told me by comrades today (maybe your data incorrect (obsolete) too):

http://ava.org.ru/shap/17g/il2-2-vitruk.jpg - Il-2 of lt.col. Vitruk Andrew Nikiforovich, commander of 765 ShAP

http://ava.org.ru/shap/17g/il2m-29-mt.jpg  15 GShAP

http://ava.org.ru/shap/140g/il-2(1)-1941.jpg 74 ShAP

Hi,
thank you for the informations, I've updated those relative to the first two planes.
About the third plane, my site has a photo only, not a profile, and is already noted as 74 ShAP. The profile is of another similar plane of another unit.
Regards
Massimo

Just found № 40 cool bigsized photo!

Hi,
good image.
Strangely, plane 1 on the background has its number on the fuselage instead of the fin.

http://ava.org.ru/shap/943.htm - 3 new found fotos proofs 943 shap had the same diagonal lines like 566 shap. So, 277 shad used white rings in 1944 and then color lines in 1945. Maybe orange ones, maybe no. Any suggestions?

Now that is an interesting paint scheme! Regarding the missing wingtip balances, I believe the Germans sometimes took these as souvenirs.

Best Regards,

Great work indeed.

The planes seem straight-winged Il-2M built in Factory 30 at the end of 1943.


Now a comment to this 3D rendering from this page:http://ava.org.ru/shap/155g.htm


nice image, but the photos show the plane with an arrow wing and long mast. I don't know if the 3D model reports well these characteristics. The shape of the guns fairings on the real plane shows that it is from factory 18, so the wing consoles  should be metallic; I think that the skin template could be improved to keep the panel details.
