Polikarpov I-16 type 29 - Eduard 1/48th scale

[PedroFernandes]

Yes!!! Another one .... : :

This time a Eduard Profipack edition...


The Photo etched parts are so huge that i had to work with tweezers!! hihihi!!


The panel...


The Cockpit :


Painting and weathering the interior...




Since i already build one... this is coming along smoother...





Lets go for the paint job...





The gloss varnish and decals...


After the gloss varnish dried i decided to uses promodellers rust wash....

what a stupid idea... this plane was made of alluminium ... so i had to take the rust of... well sometimes you go foward ... others backwords... at least i learned that next time have to read more about what im building .... its really important!!!

Took the rust off...




The finish line is in sight...





So... it is done...






i dindnt assemble all the landing gear to get the feeling of worn plane (and this time i read some stuff to see if it was true... and it is )

So... hope you all enjoy!!!
