Hi all – this is my latest, the small 1/72 Hasegawa Polikarpov I-16, built straight out of the box without any modifications. The kit is painted up to represent a machine from the Spanish Republican forces, “Alas Rojos” Esquadrille, c1938.

I tracked my build time on this one - I spent just on 12 hours overall for this build – around 4.5 hours for construction, and 7.5 hours in painting. Paint was done with Gunze acrylics and oils for weathering. There were no issues whatsoever with the build itself.











Overall a great little kit, ideally suited to a reasonably quick and easy build.

Comments / Criticisms welcomed!

Cheers

very elegant, thank you for sharing

Congratulations,

this is a very well done kit in a real short time. Color and weathering look spot on! The I-16 looks some kind familiar to the GeeBee, doesn´t it?
