thanks Glenn/Andy, interesting that the exhaust doesent seem to stain the fuselage only the upperwings and that in flight shot confirms my guess at where the landing gear covers would be dirtied !!!!
 
I wouldn't believe these modern shots. These I-16s are powered by a different engine with a little bit different exchaust system.

I have checked that red top, Karl. There is either red top or not in a few books that show the I-16 profile.

i have just been looking as well and found no red fin in the stuff i have on this laptop but will look at my other stuff on my other P.C as it will look good with a bit of red on it !!!!

Thanks Bill
 
True Karl... however I have found a profile in a Russian book about I-16 , without the red top. But looking at the pic below I've got an impression it was there.

Hello Karl, I tried to find those photos I took but couldn't at the moment. Lots to go through, but I did find some photos of it on line. Hope these might help.
