Its characteristics seem to be:
-
probably late type, with radio mast, probably with slats;
-
possibly with inert gas device near the left exhaust stacks;
-
white overall (including undercarriage legs and doors), overpainted with
a thin coat of green brushed on the upper and side surfaces;
-
Za Rodinu (for the Motherland) slogan, painted probably red on the side
(both sides?); where the slogan crossed the red star, characters could
be white as on other aircrafts; the surface around the slogan is not repainted
green.
All the characteristics of the profile not visible on this photo are hypothized
on the base of other photos of similar aircrafts.
