Bonehammer Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Quite nice on ARK's part to address the major cons of this fine kit - internal detail (lack thereof) and panels standing a bit too proud on the wings and fuselage. Some modellers say the shape is more accurate than the Eduard, pity about availability... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOUSTON Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 V. P. thank you for the links and photos. the brass parts looks amazing ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erewhon1872 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 this looks great but two questions, is it now available and also why does it say "2 Kits" on the box, is it a two kits in one box package? Subsidiary (if that's the right word?) question, is the model of a particular Type of I-16, the box does not say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Thompson Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Type 10 and 17, according to the instructions, which you can download if you follow the link posted at the beginning of this thread. Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antoine Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Nice, and interesting. But where to get them? Hannants, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Paul, I followed both Ark links at the top of this thread and can see information on the models (historical info and a gallery of the model) but cannot see where you can d/l the instructions. Still confused, there seems to be two boxings (is one boxing a Type 10 and the other a 17?) but one has less detail than the other, one just resin parts and the other PE and white metal, is that the way you read it? Still not sure if there are two models in a box, or where it says 2 kits does it mean one kit with less details and one with more? And of course there's where to actually buy it/them from Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have noticed they seem to have upcoming kits with £TBA for the price so it may be in that category? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
