Polikarpov I-16 type 28, Interior color 1941

[Johan]

Hello,

New to Russian Aircraft - would anyone know what the interior color would be for a I-16, 1941?
Also - any tips or tricks related to the ICM 1/32 release would be greatly appreciated

Regards
Johan

Personally I'd use A-14 (Steel Grey) for the cockpit. US Neutral Gray is pretty close.

I've recently built the ICM kit Johan and it was pretty straightforward, the only minor issue I had was the alignment of the exhaust stubs. The contact 'plugs' at the end of the stubs are semi-circular but fit quite loosely into the 'sockets' at the engine end, so they can end up not matching their apertures in the cowling unless you're careful. Apart from that it was a nice quick build which you can find in the RFI section if you are interested.
