Many photos of downed Il-2s show some planes having unusual characteristics in common:

-camo improved by mottling with at least one lighter color, possibly light brown AMT-1 or similar;

-wooden rear fuselage reinforced with external stiffeners that appear unpainted, or painted with a different color of the background;

-a white oblique band on the tail, or remains of a white oblique band obliterated with paint (not on the plane of this photo);

- a red (? ) number with white outline on the tail;

Although the place and date of these photos of German origin are unknown, we can note the resemblance of those planes to “Za Otradnova” (“For Otradnov”), “yellow 3” Pilot A.V.Chuvikov,

of 606 ShAP of 214 ShAD.

Looking at the photos of this plane, red (?) 1, we see that:

• what is visible of the underlying black/green camouflage and with white outlined stars is clearly related with the style of Zavod 18, so it's sure that the outer panels of wings should be metallic; in the following drawing, the camo of the wings was guessed on the base of other planes of the same factory, even if this pattern was scarcely standardized;
• the rear back of fuselage and a small amount of the fuselage side are painted with light (brown?) paint, possibly AMT-1; stiffeners appear to have been installed over this modified camouflage without any attempt to match its colors.
