This interesting perspective shows the example n. 5015, flown by K.A. Kriukov of 12 GIAP, probably on Vnukovo airport near Moscow in Spring 1942.
This example was produced on late 1941, armed by two machine guns UBS and two built-in batteries of ZROB-82 for the shooting rocket projectiles ROS -82.

The aircraft looks painted with green/black camouflage with unusually sharp lines; probably it was repainted after the winter.

On the image below, an interesting view of the same aircraft. A small red 49 seems visible on the stabilizer root.
