Zvezda 1/144 Polikarpov I-16 typ 5

[yak face]

Heres one ive been doing on the sidelines . Its the excellent 1/144 Zvezda polikarpov i-16 snap fit . I used aftermarket decals and some from the spares box to depict a machine of the Nationalists from the Spanish civil war . The kit was converted from a typ 24 to a typ 5 by sanding off the gun bulges , removing the nose guns and scratching an enclosed canopy and gunsight. The crash moulding of a canopy 3 mm in length is a tricky job! Anyways here it is with the other 3 ive done .

Thanks all, and please pass on my thanks to the committee john , but please dont mention anything to matron about my plaster , she’ll not be happy about us self medicating, or having sharp things !

Those little chaps are really something else, you must have fantastic eyesight and very steady hands.
