However - I made me one - hoping that I can implement it to my Soviet carreer one day.

Pilot name is Arkadi Renko - after the hero from Michael Cruz-Smith's great novel "Gorki Park".

You want a Soviet pilot, you got one! maybe...

 

An old picture from long ago of the only annoying moody and irascible African pilot that ever fought for the Soviet Union. He pissed off Stalin many times but escaped the Gulag due to impressing Stalin with his annoying tendency to argue... And shoot down German aircraft. "He may be as black as the Ace of Spades and an argumentative ****** but he shoots down German aircraft !" Stalin has been quoted as saying.

I sometimes wonder if people actually believe me when I make up these things?  Perhaps they will also believe the one about colour not existing until after WW2 when things got better too?

 

Never believe revisionist history,or anything that can be easily put togther with photoshop and a little work, then written about like it`s real.  I certainly don`t.

 

In other words that pic I put up is made up by me and what I`ll use as my Soviet pilot pic privately!

My comment earlier about IL-2 1946 was not quite correct. Re-reading this thread reveals to me that the O.P. wants a 2D career image using his own face. In 1946 there was an option to wrap tour own face onto the 3D pilot of the aircraft being flown so that in external views it was you at the controls. It was quite effective.

Yep, did it myself. I`ve got pics of that too, somewhere - Oh wait, people will probably think it was real! lol! :biggrin:
