Plane n.3 flown by capt. A.A. Zaitsev of 5th Guards Torpedo Regt (5 GMTAP) of the Black Sea Fleet Aviation. The black-outlined number on the tail appears much fresher than the worn star and camouflage; it appears overpainted to a previous and larger n.3 that has been deleted. The use of dark yellow or bright red could be guessed.
