Luka Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) This was a quick fun and an actual little build of one of those planes that I always wanted to make but never got around to doing. The exhaust panel on the lower cowling was taken from an old Revell kit, to turn it into a tip 10. The engine came from the same kit; the ICM kit has a way too nice engine to be covered by the I-16 cowling with just a few holes in it. It is now earmarked to serve as a Cyclone for a CW 21 somewhere in the future. But I digress. Flown by D. D. Dickinson in the Spanish Civil War, I like this scheme because of its striking red rear fuselage.

exdraken Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Oh, very nice little bugger! And a colorful one it is! I think you really nailed the green ! Is the rudder decals? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luka Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 Thanks! @exdraken; Yes, the number on the rudder are the only decals. Looking closer at the third pic I see some silvering has appeared that I had not noticed before. How confronting those large detail shots can be! 😅 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
