Hi!

I dont want to insult somebody. I just say that there are more and more prooves that Pilawski mad acid colors are wrong. Also, he had not enough information about this or that aircraft, and speculate with colors and paintschemes.

For example:

Il-2 AM-38F "White 25" Unit, Location and Pilot unknown.

Default PLESK Page

This is Il-2 AM38F, from 16 VA, in propaganda flight over Berlin, April 1945. Several photos were taken, all shown in links below. To make more “moral effect”, photograph just simply “edited” one of photo “for newspaper”, adding white arrow and furious “Мститель” (Avenger).

Il-2’s, presented on that photos, are painted in standard NKAP-43 scheme. It just cannot be in “two colored” scheme (as Erik claim) because average life of Il-2 was short, even it was not shot up or damaged. Just because of wooden details were damaged by water/sunlight. Il-2 “two-colored”, built in late1942 to mid 1943 could not survive so long life. Easy.

Elements of NKAP-43 are seen on right wing of this Il-2 from 16 VA:

Twotone scheme was AMT 4 and AMT 6, but not AII lacquers (used before 1941). There were no Braun color in VVS.

All mistakes are the same. Broun colour (never used in VVS), two-tone scheme instead of NKAP-43.

“Za Leningrad!” was not the only aircraft in that regiments. It was a series, gift to 566 shap, bought on money from Leningrad citizens.

2: about colors:

This is original VVS colors. Compare “Acid light-green” by Erik Pilawski and green AMT-4 or blackgreen AMT-6 on this photos:
