Drawing by Tapani Tuomanen
A UT-2M photgraphed in 1943 or later, presumably on a flight school.
The painting is of difficult interpretation; it doesn't resemble to the black-green pattern known on other UT-2; it fits better with the templates of 1943 prescribing a green-light brown-dark grey camouflage, that is more adequate for the period.
The band on fuselage was supposed white, as the number 3 on the tai (that, according to other interpretations, has a red inside), while the wide '20' is probably red. The nose panels look lighter; this could be due to a light brown blotch (not prescribed on that position by the NKAP templates) or could be due to red nose planels, just as those of the earlier UT-2.
