Grushin « Sh-Tandem » or « Tandem-MAI »

Dear Justo, I see nothing and it is written "If You want share profiles of this aircraft with our visitors - mail to webmaster"... Have you done it?
 
Actually getting to the profiles is a bit tricky,
I've marked, where to click with red circles . ;)

Thanks Jemiba, I've seen the 3 of them.
Interesting Shturmoviks with tandem wings, 1937. Very Delanne-like.
Edit: I have checked in the Docavia bool "Les Chtormoviks" and there are 2 pages, photographs and drawings about this family, pages 118-119.

Empannage evaluation
thanks, Andrew, tell me how accurate the dimensional data of this aircraft. I mean the wingspan of the main wing in all sources (Shavrov, Rastrenin ...........) is equal to - 11 m against 9,8 m (according to the latest data of the article in M-Hobby №178)

This drawing was not published by M-H. I think Shavrov, RastreninPerov
used not original reports, but some kind of secondary reference. They together
confused first flight date.

Amazing,thanks.
 
I recently read the information about this plane and I had a few questions.
1. It is said that a stand-in for the Sh-Tandem aircraft was built and on the second copy, the rear wing was lowered down. Are there any photos or drawings of this variation?
2. There is also the following: "The plans of the experimental aircraft industry provided for the construction of a single-seat Sh-Tandem aircraft with an M-63 engine in the version of an armored attack aircraft. But this aircraft was not implemented either." How could this version look like?
 
This Russian prototype looks way faster than the Delanne Lysander and far more likely to survive on a WW2 battlefield.
