Polikarpov I-16 type 10 - Eduard 1/48th Scale WIP

[PedroFernandes]

Yes... its true!! You can believe your eyes!!! I'm building another I-16, this time the type 10 (thank god Eduard just made 4 different types hihihihi!!! )

I think I will do one of these 2 schemes ... they belong to the acrobatic team but... later on they where fitted with guns and entered combat duty!

Getting started

Yep really enjoy building these little buggers !!!

Regarding the Eduard model... well overall its a good model... some minor fitting issues that can be solved with a toothpick and some rubber bands (MacGuiver Style Yeah!). The photoetched parts are easy to bend. The decals are good and there is a interesting selection of schemes! The exhausts have no holes and the engine is a little poor but quickboost has 2 aftermarkets for this purpose.
