I think it's an L-39. Great paint job! The AN-2 with a shark mouth cracked me up.

Love that Tu-22! Looks like a real shark! I think I'm painting my snow-blower with one!

Some great pics, but I gotta agree with Torch. I may be in the minority here, but to me the shark mouth looks goofy on all planes except the P-40, almost comical.

Excellent thread and I do appreciate all the pics that have been posted! The 2 craft from WWI in post #32 give some idea on how old this idea of painting a shark mouth on an aircraft really is. During some google searches yesterday I saw references to a Nieuport with a shark mouth but could never find a picture.

I have just over 4 gigs of reference photos organized by aircraft type. Makes this kind of thing easy.
