This profile represents an example of 162 IAP, 43 IAD, Leningrad front, summer 1942.
Its characteristics seem to be:
  • it is a late type aircraft, with radio devices;
  • a dark gloss number, probably blue 19, can be seen on a side, and is partially superimposed over the fuselage star (I think the number is blue, not black, because it is partially covers a black camo band, and this should obscure the reading of a black number);
  • the frames of the canopy look green, not in agreement with the black camouflage band;
  • there is the small pipe for inert gas anti-fire fuel tanks system over the left side exhaust stacks.

  • The aircraft bears a green/black camouflage; where not visible on the photo, it was drawn on the base of a similar aircraft. 
    The spinner is not clearly visible on the photo; it is supposed to be green, as on most MiGs.
