Brad Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 The Hobbycraft kits are getting pretty old now, first being issued in 1992. They build up reasonably well, the only real issue is they lack the cut out in the main gear doors to allow the gear leg to pass through it. You need to make this cut yourself, I chose to simply remove the offending gear doors, call it removed for mud build up. Decals are thick, but the colour is good, I ruined the number on the tail myself to scrounged one from the spares box. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in a shed Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Very nice rendition of what must have been one of the stubbiest fighters ever produced. You say the decals were thick but you seem to have got them to settle down and conform very well, I cant see any carrier film anwhere. Super job.

georgeusa Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Great effort on a rather plain kit. Hobbycraft kits always seem to be just enough for the form of the aircraft, but not too particular when it comes to detail. You little I-16 is wonderfully built. Thanks for sharing.
