Hi all,
here is an interesting link from Tapani:
https://www.flightforum.fi/topic/31448-kiantaj%C3%A4rven-i-15bis/
Here is one of the photos:


The images allow to see a well restored engine, and something of the old paints.
We can recognize  a light grey AE-9, a dark green of 1938 (AII green?), a yellow-green primer and a brown spinner that could have been red or orange (but another photo of a red star, already seen, shows that the red was well preserved, so the color of the spinner could be different).
Regards
Massimo

That's a nice photograph of the cowling and engine. Do you think this I-15bis was painted green over light grey?

Best Regards,

Jason

Hi,
yes, it was a standard plane with green uppersurface and grey/silver undersurfaces.
The spinner is a mystery, I suppose that the brown should have appeared as orange when new.
