I found this photograph via Google. I'm not sure what the source was as when I click on it, it says the domain has expired:
I chose it as the mechanic is nearly in the same position.
Then I found this image.
It looks pretty similar (he said, hopefully :) )
Thanks for the thumbs up on the...
Thanks chaps :)
Looking at the underside of the top wing , there seems to be a forward strut to complete a 'и'. It vanishes behind the back of the refueller's/mechanic's jacket around a foot above his waist line.
It's not as high contrast as the other two, but perhaps it has more natural light...
Thanks Fubar. I have a 1/72 Po 2 in the stash. The cat destroyed the last one I built :cry:. It would be nice if it was one. I've never done a diorama with so many trees so it should be a learning curve and fun!

Thanks Fubar :thumbright:,
I think you're right. The prop and cabane struts look right for that. I'm thinking surely those huge bombs to the left of the photograph can't be for this little plane?
It's interesting that there doesn't seem to be a Soviet star on the side of the aircraft..
Thank...
Hello folks,
I have found the linked image of a Soviet biplane on skis, in winter camo, probably during WWII (or perhaps the Winter War?).
I would like to model this as a diorama using a BZ35 Fuel Bowser.
From this angle I find it hard to identify the type of aircraft.
If anyone can help with...

Very nice paint work. The best I have seen for this type of camouflage. It is also a very attractive aircraft. Well done.
Best regards

These films are just wonderful :thumbright:Thank you for starting this thread. What kind of aircraft is it that Richthoven has shot down?
Best regards

I also lost a beautiful lady, one aged 33, 13 years ago. I can understand a little of how devastating yours and the family's loss is. My sincerest condolences to you all. A tragedy.
You've done a really nice job there. I have the non-vokes version in the stash, so thank you for the information on what it is like to build.
Great stuff :)
