Here’s my build of a “naked” Polikarpov i-16 using the Eduard weekend kit and some AK (printed by Cartograf) “wood” decals, Extreme metal and MRP paints.

That's come up a treat !, Definitely a different variation on the usual dull green versions that grace [!] my shelf.

 

I'm impressed with your delineation of the wing and tailplane ribs ! I'll be nicking your method unashamedly........

A stunning build !

Splendid idea to show how they were constructed. Definitely more difficult to build than a 'dressed' model, and very well done!

Good thing it's too cold in Mother Russia for termites! Seriously, those are two extremely  beautiful models... I still say go for a naked Spruce Goose...or failing that, at the other extreme, size-wise,  a naked XP-77? :giggle: (I'll be here all week- remember to  tip your waitress!)

IIRC, Special Hobby did one in 1/72- kit 72012, and there was a fairly crude vacform, as well.

Lovely work John - the plywood effect is superb! Great to see the Mossie again too,

 

Cheers,
