I'm not sure about the scale... I'd say either 1:1 or bust - Western Bulgaria (Makedonia and the Western Reaches, now Eastern Serbia too) is known as a "mosaic" type of terrain with very high mountains, deep river valleys and high hills - it would be nightmare too make it look even decent at any other scale.
About the mountains - Vitosha, the mountain just south-west of Sofia is predominantly green, with brownish, rocky highest peaks - and has a snow caps between mid-October and early-May (estimated). Stara Planina , the large mountain chain to the north of the city is more varied, with large rocky and forrest areas, as wel as snow in the higher parts during the colder months.
By the way, I don't know if Il-2 can pull this off, but the rivers flowingthrough Sofia are actually very small.
Looks great, can't wait to see it finished!
PS. Title - maybe over the Iskar Dam and continuing to the right (east?)
