Shavrov Sh-2

[erussell]

I am looking for pictures of Sh-2 aircraft. I am planning to build the Amodel kit, which seems adequate enough. I may not have all the colour instructions as the decal sheet is more comprehensive than the two schemes illustrated. They are K8 (well covered by pictures on the net) and X-104 (pictures - not at all).
There are a few profiles around - but, you know........ never trust a profile without a picture.
A GPW one with more than just stars would be nice but I'll settle for less.
