Harry Honkanen did a fabulous series of photos of this thing during the conservation process (an apt term, the colors and airframe were left as-is, only anti-corrosion treatment and cleaning took place), and it is a goldmine of info regarding VVS practices of overpainting USAAF markings, etc...just a beautiful piece, I am very very glad the Finns took that approach with it! And you just KNOW they'd do the same with BW-372... sigh.
