Hi, Marek!

Thank's for the information!

Then the 1 Mixed Aircorps of Polish Army was not subordinated a Soviet Air Army?

In March 45 he was subordinated to the 1 Polish Army and later directly to the I and II Belorusski Front?

Cheers,

Actually 4 MDL (previously 1 PDL) was subordinated to 16 Vozdushnaya Armya. 3 PLSz was previously 611 ShAP and consisted of Soviet personnel, mostly Russians. Only in the last days of the war some Poles finaly arrived to the unit. It was the worst unit in the division, suffering serious disciplinary problems.

Interesting! Couldn't you please give us some examples of what you mean, when it took place, and - above all - please the sources to that?

This profile is correct?

I am not sure, there is very little photographic wartime record of the so called Polish aviation, but I believe all the aircraft had Polish checkerboards. Certainly all the Soviet personnel received Polish uniforms much to their dissapointment.
No. Solid coloured Il-2s appeared in Poland only post-war. All the wartime aircraft had standard Soviet camouflage of the period. Some of them, those which survived long enough, were repainted post-war.
The profile seems not to be based on any photo and I would not use it as a refference.

I have written about that to you so many times, that I am not willing to do that again. Sorry.

Hi, Franek,

Thank's a lot for the information! :)

This model used the colors of the Il-2 of 3 PLSz?

Cheers,

I am afraid I cannot find any photo of 3 PLSz Il-2 at the moment. There are some of 6 PLSz aircraft, taken just after the war but they do not allow to make any conclusions. Anyway the camouflage was three tone and wings and fuselages were wooden - the model is wrong.
By the way, Stormovik means ground attack and by no means is the aircraft nick. Il-2 was widely known as Gorbatyj or Hunchback.

Thank's! :)

&quot;This model used the colors of the Il-2 of 3 PLSz?&quot;

well... the green needs to be lighter and the brown needs to be darker and redder if you are going for the AII Light Green/Dark Brown scheme so popular on two-seat Shturmoviks.
