I-16 (?)

Hi ,my usual poison is 72nd armour/ vechiels but have decided to have a bash at at a wingy thing ,probably the first time since I was a kid ,the kit is by ICM and was more than likely a impulse grab of off flea Bay. I dont belive in slagging/ moaning about manufacturers/ kits I always work to the premises that no such thing as a bad kit just some are better than others ,one mans meat another man's poison ,anyway didn't bother to much with the cockpit well truthfully never bothered at all ,dont think it made up too bad if I had one moan the decals were I think very thick and well shiny but I presuming that will go with a flat coat idid use setters and softeners but was mainly more interested in having a go at painting a wingy after all these years ,some pics of progress so far ,


Cockpit glass not a very good fit i could have sorted but all good fun so far.Dave

Nice… one of the iconic WW2 Russian fighters. Not fast but capable in a dogfight

Many thanks enjoying it so far after many years of armour/ vechiels its nice to step out of the rut ,still some way to go yet plus a good learning curve for the next wingy thing. Almost like thoes little begee? Racers but with guns. Dave
