Switching to Russian. I have two kits to choose from. An Academy 1:48 and a ICM 1:72. Both I-16 TYPE 24. Leaning towards the 1:48, it having much bigger pieces. But that 1:72 is so darned cute!. I've done some minor research on the colors (paint) and as always confused. The two kits having color callouts but different. Not surprised! I have downloaded instruction sheets for like models but different mfgs. All different. Especially the interior and the landing gear hardware and associted areas. I do have some color photos of this craft that is housed in the Russian museum. I believe I'll use those as my template. But still scratching my head on matching my Vallejo/Tamiya collection. Some seem close? So i will delay any painting until I see what is being applied in these GB53 builds. Please, if you will, note what the paints are being applied. I have also downloaded many files from various Russian aircraft sites and just have to comb through them as well.
