Hello I'm searching a picture of this plane:

this the plane of vasilii matsievich of the 26th GvIAP in the defense of Leningrad in spring of 45.

the only pic of the 26th GvIAP I know id this one:

the most viewed profil of this squadron' planes is this one with english paints, very different :

so does anyone know a pics showing the blue "2" spitfire with the white ligtning and russian paints??

There aren't too many shots of Russian Spitfire Mk.IXs. So there can be a problem with finiding of them.

I don't think I've EVER seen photos of a Russian Mk.IX..Mk.V's yes, but IX's never...very nice scheme though!

Black number is doubtfull, because 26th GIAP used white numbers at the fuselages:
26 гиап (26 иап) ПВО ТС - самолеты и эмблемы
and whole corps too Полки и самолеты СССР в ВОВ 1941-1945
