Polikarpov I-16 Type 10 1/100 Scale

[gomidefilho]

Well friends!

This is my last model built on the scale 1/100. The Polikarpov I-16 Type 10 in the colors of the Republican Air Force during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). This model published by Aeroteca Barcelona was originally on the scale 1/48 put the scan and to reduce my favorite scale (1/100). It is a simple model but with some errors of fitting, and the editor of this characteristic lack of undercarriage that had to do a scratchbuilding.

An interesting comparison with the English Vickers Jockey prototype of the fighter aircraft developed at the same time that the I-16, the appearance of the Jockey archaic in comparison to I-16 is obvious ...

Those are very nice little models. I like 1/100 models and appreciate the skill required to work so small.

Being as I build in 1/144, I can really appreciate what it takes to build this small. I am also working on the I-16, but smaller. Hope it turns out half as good as this one!

And I sometimes complain about parts in 1:33 scale being to small

I think I have these old lits somewhere, but I never built them because the printing was not great. But I see that reducing the size makes them look very good, especially when built as well as this one! Very nice looking tiny model!

Nice models and nice scale. 1:100 is my preferred scale also.

Where did you get the Vickers Jockey from? I have an interest in early British birds and haven't seen this kit.

Thank's friends! Really the Aeroteca's printing is low quality, but for 1/100 scale is perfect, I painted with acrylic paint some points ... as well as some lines with naking ink before building.

Ashrunner you got the Vickers Jockey here: Mikromodele

Cheers!
