Academy 1/48 Polikarpov I-16 Type 24

Quick build to pass a couple of wet days here in lunatic land.(Uk)
Easy build but a lovely little kit. Extremely sparse cockpit but no point in embellishing it because nothing can be seen through the opening.
I suppose you could cut the door to be open but I was sceptical about my abilities. Tricky undercarriage but looks good with patience.
Love these little Soviet planes and must try more.

Nice clean build.

I agree. She looks very nice although the grey colour on tops looks quite strange.

Some says: the first fighter monoplane with retractable undercarriage.
Must be a decoration of model shelf, congrats!

You have to add - manually

Thanks fellas. I'm not sure if the colour is influenced by the light in the photography but it's the colour in the call out in the instructions.

Wurger · Oct 25, 2019

I see. Of course, there is nothing wrong with that , I would say. Just IMHO she should be of the green colour than the grey..

Ron Pearcy · Oct 25, 2019

I must admit it does look grey in the pictures. Cheers mate.
