Sikorsky's Giants

With a single replica, the director tried to represent several airplanes.

first the S-21 Russky Vityaz
then the S-22 Ilya Muromets
with less two engines, the replica is now acting as a raid aircraft (or passenger transport ? -we guess "Paris" on the sides-); which one ?
what is this scene with a painter and this pin-up ?
now painted in black, it's still the same replica now acting as the S-29A seen in Hell's Angels, itself acting as a German giant bomber !

Please note that a handful of Ilya Muromets served for mail and passenger transport in 1921/1922 but only between Moscow and Kharkov.

Now I've seen the movie and despite I don't understand Russian language, the different scenes with the S-22 replica are more explicit. Only the Pin-up and the painter are still unclear. Perhaps a Russian reader could explain it ?

A lot of screenshots added (mainly archive pictures and models). LVCDC 08:45, 28 November 2014 (MST)
