Early Rat...1/48 Polikarpov I-16 Type 5, Soviet Airforce
1/2024
My dad and I are a bit late to the 2024 party because the fotoroom was out of order for some time.
But now let´s get finally started, a bunch of already finished models to come.
The new I-16 Type 5 kit by Ukrainian company Clear Prop. The molding quality and fit are more or less equal to the Eduard I-16s.
PE seatbelts form the sparesbox, 0,4mm plastic rods for the landing gear retraction cables, painted with AK Real Color AII Blue and AII Green.

Very nice! Looking forward to getting caught up with all his builds!
A wonderful result, Reinhard @grimreaper
Looking forward to all the builds in the queue for their photoshoot.
Looks fantastic, my friend @grimreaper!
Nice work. I’ve been thinking of picking one of those up to finish in Spanish Republican colors.
Thanks John! Thought about a Republican scheme too, but my dad already did a Type 10 in that livery. So he kept to the schemes that come with the kit. Sadly only "boring" all green schemes, only one has a blue fin tip.
Very nice Rata/Ishak.
Well done. I need to get one!
Thanks to all for likes and comments!
