This one should be more challenging, and it is more widely known than the Su-2

<span id='postcolor'>

Il-4. Bah, this is what I get for finding this thread late.

More Il-2 goodness please!

Lol hey, what else do you do as a kid when your dad is a mechanic in the Cuban air force? Get every book on planes you can get your hands on! And of course back then, all I could get my hands on was stuff on Soviet aircraft.

Speaking of rare Russian prototypes, good luck in identifying this one:

I swear to you the pic is real and that is an actual flying AC .

A hint for you....don't even bother searching for Antonovs, Tupolevs, Illushins, Yaks, Sukhois, Berievs, MiG's....in short....this is somewhat of a secretive venture which has been cancelled on and off since the USSR broke up, and dosen't seem to have any of the major design bureaus associated with it. Last I heard was a rumor stating development was continuing in partnership with China.

Well that's called EKIP. "Ekologiya i Progres".

Tovarish, I have no idea what that is (the pic is kinda small), but it reminds me of the US's "Tacit Blue":

Yep, name means "Ecology and Progress", I just hope it manages to progress....

Here's what little technical info there is on it

You remind me of some woman i saw on TV yesterday, it was a Russian lady (on BBC2), she participated in that show where people need to do the same stuff as the SAS. She could totally clean a gun and that put it all together again. She learned that in school

Hehe, i wish we learned that stuff my school!

Ah, isn't that the "caspian sea monster"? Gonna go check the designation . Yep, that is, but the only other designation I can find for it is "KM"

Yep. I don't know the designation but I recently saw a document about it in the Discovery channel.

Here are some specs about it and other prototypes. KM seems to be the designation.

Seen that documentary many times, so I figured that one would be too easy to post here . Interesting machines those Ekranoplanes, able to travel just off the water at the speed of a jet... I'd hate to see what would happen if the autopilot that's meant to control the constant altitude fails (Those things don't want to stay at the same altitude naturally, and a computer is always compensating for it)

I'd hate to be fishing off the bow of a small sailboat on a lazy summer afternoon and have one of those things overlook me in its path...

[Col. Kurtz 0]

Ok, Im not going to bother downloading and then uploading this. Anyone who knows about WWII should pick

Part of the designation of the plane is ijn the name, but a key part is missing.

[der bastler 0]

@Col. Kurtz:

hm, an italian airplane (looking at the camouflage pattern)

...

cant,cant,...

...

...

perhaps "CRDA Cant Z.506"-based?

...

I think it's the prototype "CRDA Cant Z.508" without buoyancy chambers (right term? It's Schwimmer in german...)

[der bastler 0]

btw:

I need some translations for shotgun shell:

english - shell

français - cartouche (?)

deutsch - Patrone

italian - ?

spanish - ?

czech - ?

[Col. Kurtz 0]

Ok Der Bastler, your getting close. It is indeed an italian plane, but not the Z.508.

The plane I have shown was an actual model that went into full sclae production and was probably the best bomber made by the Italians in WW2.

that's what all your pre-ban assault rifles are for.  

just to remind ppl to post images of size 100k or less. and no flaming or saying things like 'our aircraft is the best!' so far this thread is going great.

CANT Z.1007bis Torpedo Bomber "Alcione"

<span style='color:red'>*edit*</span> I admit, i got lucky on this one. After it was confirmed to be a cant I did a search and found a page with the exact image Col Kurtz posted

[Col. Kurtz 0]

Tovarish your local aircraft nut is correct.

Right, soon Im going to have to move onto doing secret Luftwaffe experimental planes that only reached prototype stage if you keep on guessing the aircraft.

[Tovarish 0]

Lol You bring the German and I'll bring the Russian . We'll all learn something. (pretty scary though, both the planes that I supposed where extremely exotic and hard to find prototypes which I've posted to know were ID'd extreemely quickly).
