This photo shows an aircraft captured by the Germans at Kaunas air base
at the beginning of the war.
There exists another photo of this aircraft, and another similar machine
showing that the color of the stabilizer tip is much lighter than the red
star.
Its characteristics look to be:
-
early type, without slats;
-
without radio mast and radio boxes;
-
standard uniform green/blue livery;
-
yellow (?) digit 3; yellow (?) tail tip, with white line;
-
black outlined red stars in six positions (upper wings surfaces, lower
wings surfaces and fuselage);
-
silver propeller blades with partially black painted rear surface (as standard).
