Eduard 1/48 I-16 type 29, pilot- Lt. P.Kharitonov, summer 1941
But freshly baked model, fresh from the oven :). Model I-16 in view of the company Eduard is probably not needed, all it knows. I added a some cabin equipment and replaced the vacuum canopy. Forehead etched hood, from the little-known (yet))) Russian producer Gonza. Yes, still made hanging tanks.
As a prototype, I chose I-16 Lt. Peter Kharitonov. This pilot is one of the first hero of the Soviet Union at the beginning of the war, made two rams, and ended the war with 14 victories.
Gunze acrylic painted model, the colors green and black bothered by eye, in a fairly similar. Decal from the firm Бегемот- 100 variants of I-16!
I hope you enjoy the model, all enjoy!
Great work as usual, Maxim.
What an eye-catcher. Superb finish and details. Nice work!
What Nikola and Craig said. Beautiful model, no problem giving this a "10."
Maxim...Beautiful work, and I really like the weathering, particularly the prop and spinner. Both look well used.
Ditto on the weathering. A Goldie Locks kit done just right.
Your'e lookin' a tad pale in your bio photo, Stephen...got the flu?
Absolutely agree, with everyone else. Simply stunning!

Thank you, friends! Your comments are valuable and enjoyable.
And yet - this year you wait at least 3 donkey, so probably the best ahead :)).
Maxim, well done!
Wonderful I-16!
Another one of your very fine builds! They are good all over but the most remarkable thing about them is the crispness of all details. A feast to the eye!

Magnus
Awesome work! It looks great.
Absolutely beautiful, the construction is clean and the colors look suitably restrained in their contrasts. Awesome Rata, Maxim.
Here's the next I-16 will surely be a Rata - Spanish type 10))
I love I-16s and this one is magnificent! Well done Maxim!

your weathering is astounding
