Hi,


Does any of you recognize this particular version of paint job?

I'm currently making a model as a tribute to my partners most flown Aircombat planes, a version of Shturmovik with winter paint. It's almost completely white with red on the tip of the wings. The red is not straight but "slanted" nicely. (I guess it only was red flying in friendly zones..?)

It seems that the MiG-3 colours have been used. Not historical correct but great for visibility when slightly impaired vision-wise. He had a surgery now and vision is better, but not good.

The model is almost done and I'll be happy to share pictures with you in a near future.
