Global Scale Modeller

Ok I will build one more I-16 in this GB
This time it is spanish war ace Mikhail Nesterovitch Yakushins Type 10 from Stalins Red five aerobatic team 1939

Here's some info about the I-16

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polikarpov_I-16

waiting to see it complete ...I assume that you have some special connection with the I-16

well nice little plane and really one more to follow ! Even I will buy another as all the camo schemes are real nice , will have to check the ICM's one with skis ...all white , should be awesome , do not know about the kit if it is good or not !

Good luck with this one , master of the 'Ratas'

Lovely little fighter, im looking forward to another stunning I16

The I-16 is one of My three favorite WW2 fighters

A little done on the cockpit tonight and i dry fitted the fuselage and wings I really like this Eduard kit all parts just fall together

- "Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more...."

You're stamping out great looking aircrafts like a wartime factory.

I actually tried to buy a couple of these kits the other day, but guess what - the are out of stock

Good luck with the build, I'm sure it will turn out as beautiful as the other ones

Thanks Tommy
Offcourse they are out of stock.... I've bought them

Tonight I've painted the blue base colour of the interior and I also base painted the engine

For blue I used a mix of val air
2 parts 71.008 Pale Blue
1 part 71.001 white

And for the engine i used Vallejo metal color 77.716 semi matte aluminium

All PE and cockpit ready for paint



I used a mix of Tamiya acrylics for the details in the cockpit

3 parts XF-62 Olive Drab
1 part XF-2 White

I gave the fuselage halves a pinwash with oils
A mix of
1 part black
2 parts brown

Looking great so far. I cant wait to see it finished as i might get one!!

I've mount all the small details on the inside of the fuselage halves
Now a little detail painting is needed before putting the fuselage together

The fuselage halfes is glued together and the seam is primed and wet sanded
(I forgot to take pics on the detail painting i did on the inside but its identical as my to other I-16 in this GB)

I've weathered the cockpit and mounted the cockpit in the fuselage



I also glued the stabilizers



It have to be something wrong with me and this GB lol

Engine and dashboard done

I painted around the aluminium with val air 71.057 black and gave it a wash with a mix of brown and black oil paints



I've mounted the dasboard in the fuselage and after that glued the wings

Everything ready for some primer

Primer on!! I used tamiyas white spray primer
This weekend my wife will work so i hope i got time to paint a lot

That IP looks soo real mate. rest of the plane looks great too, but im crazy about that IP!

Thanks Always48 the IP is PE so i cant take the cred for that one


Some preshading done so far. I used a mix of tamiya acrylics 1 part XF-2 White and 2 parts XF-69 Nato black.

I base painted the model with a mix of vallejo model air 71.057 black and 71.001 white

14 parts white
1 part black

I also masked and painted the red fin with Tamiya XF-7 Red





After that i masked and painted the cowling black with val air 71.057 black. Next step will be a clear coat



I

Thanks I'm glad you liked it

I painted the prop with vallejo metal color 77.716 semi matte aluminium and gave the whole plane a coat of Humbrol clear and added the decals

This is how it looks so far with prop and cowling dry fitted

Just under 2 weeks left but that shouldn't be a problem for you....

I really hope so

I've drilled out the machineguns, venturi probe and also started on the landing gear

A light grey pin wash was given. I mixed black and white oils for the wash. After that I gave the whole plane a coat of Humbrol satin acrylic varnish

All small parts ready for primer

Painted today

Base painted the exhoust pipes with tamiya XF-64 red brown and machine guns with vallejo metal color 77.712 steel.

I also masked and painted wheel bays
I used the same mix as in the cockpit
Vallejo model air 2 parts 71.008 Pale blue and 1 part 71.001 white.

I've got alot done tonight
I mounted the landingear together and gave it a wash, drybrushed pigments on the exhoust pipes and mounted them in the fuselage, painted the last on the cowling and also mounted machineguns and venturi probe

I used a mix of oils as a wash on the landingear doors

A 50/50 mix of dark brown and black





On the exhoust pipes I used Mig productions old rust and soot and fixed it with white spirit.



The silver ring on the cowling was painted with a silver pencil from Pilot





And this is how it looks with the machinegun mounted



I hope I will finish it tomorrow

Its finaly finished and here is my final reveal
