The real subject

The I-16 was a Soviet single-seat low-wing fighter with retractable landing gear and a short barrel-shaped fuselage. The type 18 version received the M-62 radial engine, which compared with the earlier types raised its performance and reliability, and it carried machine gun armament. It entered service around 1939 and was used in the fighting at the Khalkhin Gol river against Japan and in the Soviet-Finnish Winter War.

Building and painting tips

Paint the cockpit and the radial engine and pick them out before closing the fuselage, because later you will not get at them. Take care over clean filling of the barrel-shaped sides. Apply the base over primer with an airbrush; metal as well as camouflage finishes come out well with a fine wash into the panel lines and a light exhaust patina. Fit the small wing parts only after the base color has been sprayed.
