This example was captured by Germans in Lithuania at the beginning of the war.

Its characteristics look to be: 
  • early type, without slats;
  • without  radio;
  • painted green with light blue undersurfaces ( not uniform; as on other aircrafts, it looks that both colors on the metal parts are lighter than on the wooden ones); 
  • yellow (?) digit 1, roughly painted; there is a yellow (?) circle on the rudder, and trim looks roughly painted yellow too;
  • light (blue?) pitot probe with silver end;
  • black outlined red stars in six positions (wings and fuselage);
  • red spinner end;
  • silver propeller blades with partially black painted rear surface (as standard); the black paint is so worn that all the blades look unpainted;
  • a metallic panel behind the exhaust stacks looks distorted, perhaps due to having bent it.
