Polikarpov I-16 diorama – Spanish Civil War
Finally finished this a few weeks back and have to say, I was pretty pleased with the results. I tried to make the diorama look ... Spanish. With a little grass and rocks scattered about, with of course the odd dried out grass in places.
The kits are both Eduard and hopefully a few figures (when purchased) would make it look better. Also - can anyone please help with the naming of the diorama, cant think of a name?
The Fiat CR42 that the people voted for is on hold for now but will be uploaded when more progress is done
Regards
Michael 🙂
Mike, not one but two! "Mosca" (think that's it) is a neat little plane, and used too long into WW II. The Eduard is a little gem, isn't it?
Good luck with the figures, maybe the ICM WW II Russian ones?
Good work on both of them.
Thanks Bernard. Yeah, also having a look at the ICM and Eduard figures. Can you think of a name for the diorama - having trouble to name it?
What scale is this, Michael, whatever it is it looks quite small. I'm sure adding figures will add that extra something!
Thanks George. The scale is 1/48. Yeah the I-16's are very small but detailed
Nice little dio, Michael...just put a plaque on the base that says, " Spain - 1939 ".
Thanks Craig - short and simple name brilliant 🙂
Hi Mike, very nice work,will you be showing it at your next day out with the 580 modellers ? I'm looking forward to seeing it.
N.
Thanks Neil. Yes defiantly will do next time, been wondering as haven't heard from you guys in a while 🙂
Nice work - like the use of two different schemes to display the same aircraft.
Great work! I love I-16s, especially Spanish ones.
Michael,
Allow me to add my belated compliments for a great job on these little birds
