    I can't believe this thread hasn't been started previously. Here are my VVS and Spanish Republican I-16's.

    For the Kindness of Strangers opening chapters - The I-16 dressed with Republican colors.
    These are AIM planes. Lovely and full of spirit.

    The Red nosed is Joaquim's plane.
    And the other two?



    The little "Mosca's" were wonderful to fly. It means fly.



    The international squadron wanted them. The Spanish Nationalists called them "Rata", a rat.


    The Russian called him Ishak (the same sound in Russian as I-16) and it means donkey.


    And the Finish called him Siipiorava (Flying Squirrel).

    Great looking models, Joaquim. And thanks for the etymological lesson... had no idea they were referred to in such a diverse and colorful fashion.

    I had I-16 for the Spanish Civil War, but I also wanted the Russian "Little Donkeys" for the third phase of "The Kindness of Strangers" campaign. These are the excellent Shapeways I-16. So here we are:




    The photos don't do them justice.




    They have smoke dirt over the white.




    Soon they will see the battlefield of invaded URSS and the reunion of lovers.

    It is really hard to match the quality of the paintjobs here in this thread, but - anyway - those of mine are just gaming pieces prepared to please Prague Con 2015 participants So let me present my last soviet Ratas in summer and winter camo. Please note the excellent decals sent me by user prymus, who deserves a and a for his generosity. The schemes are generic, but close to original ones

    Default Nationalists Captured I-16 Type 10 in 1/100 Scale

    Hello All!



    Just thought that I would add a couple of pics from my conversion projects.

    Here we have a captured I-16 type 10 in Nationalist Service during the Spanish Civil War. This is a Re-paint of a Chinese I-16 from Axis & Allies Angels 20...Sorry!

    Top Hat, Dice and all insignia were hand-painted by me...hehe...I need to make better decals...time for a laser printer...Yikes!

    Thanks ptownhiker and all!

    I am especially proud of the Dice adding to "Seven" on the tail...They mean I can still paint 1/200 and 1/100 scale, even at my age with no magnification. I am starting to wonder how long that is going to be the case, however.

    Thanks for looking and for the words of encouragement.

    Inspired by cards from WoW Revolution in the Sky Squadron Pack, I made these two I-16.
    Models by AIM. Home made decals.
    My early works three years ago. Since then I learned how to make white numbers better.

    I'm planning to paint up some of these myself. Where did all of you get your decals? I looked around, and I couldn't find 1/200 red stars anywhere.

    The I 16 is my second favourite plane after the Hurricane. I've recently been trying to research the Khalkhin Gol conflict where these went up against the Japanese KI 10 biplane and KI 47 fighters. Struggling to find a lot of detail but a source for the Japanese models would be great. I've just read a book on the development of the I16 but it doesn't mention Khalkhin Gol at all.
    Fantastic pictures from everyone by the way, are they 1/200 or 1/144?

    A decent book on Khalkin Gol with some color plates is in the book reviews 'HERE'.

    I have a Ki-10 and I-153s from Shapeways, Ki-27s, Ki-21s and Ki-30s from AIM.

    Peter beat me to the punch. I was going to you about what he said. He didn't say however, that he is running a game based on that battle at COLD WARS next month. Between us we will have a substantial force. He has mentioned this book and did a review on it so now need to get it.
    Also check out MISCMINI's thread (the Market section). He has a number of decals. I have been using his since he posted his site in here. Just did 4 planes (different ones) today and have to take pictures of them.

    They don't belong here with these other lovely models, but maybe my ugly ducklings can give a laugh or a confidence boost.
