Does this help? Not the best drawing for wing underside details, but maybe it's enough. If not, let me know, and I'll keep looking.  John |

Hi, wing model 1941... this is from a book of Rastrenin  I've seen your AM half-built. For inside colors, don't worry, it could be that it was repainted in some maintenance session. A lot of unexpected colors have been seen inside Soviet planes. Regards Massimo |

Thanks Massimo, when I get to it I think I will finish it as silver? 94 that's in the profiles, as I have the Errormaster decals for it, the 94 will be white though as that's what they are on the sheet. Tim |

So is it a wing with larger guns that has the asymmetric shell ejection ports?

Hi, larger guns? No, they are smaller: 20 mm ShVAK instead of the 23 mm VYa of later types. I strongly suspect that the waste shells and links slots are drawn wrongly. They don't resemble what we see on ShVAK-armed I-16s. I had a look to photos but found few.  To have an idea, please see the drawings of the I-16, keeping in mind that the guns on I-16 protruded much more than on the Il-2; on I-16, the waste links were expelled from a small tube aside the barrel, on Il-2 this could be replaced by a tube expelling them from a circular, oval or rectangular small slot. and always on the same side of the barrel.  Regards Massimo |

Hi Massimo,
I just assumed a later plane would be up-gunned with one with a larger bore. Anyway, is that drawing above correct
as to the ejection chutes? I can't recall where I saw plans with the asymmetric ports, and this fire tablet I'm forced to use doesn't search well; or maybe it's just me?
Thanks,
Jim

I don't think that the drawing of Il-2 is correct, I think that there is a more or less square hole and a smaller hole in front of it. The long slot of the drawing doesn't seem confirmed by photos or analogies with those of I-16.
Regards
Massimo
