This is my new model, a Polikarpov I-16
Type 17 by Eduard in 1:48. I decided to buy the version of St. Schuikow, I think this paint
scheme is demanding
and it is rarely seen as a model.

The building was absolutely no problem, unfortunately, most of the beautiful
photo etch detail parts can't really be seen once the model is complete.
I painted the model with Gunze Hobby Color paints and used Mr. Mark Softer to
apply the decals. As for weathering, I almost completely avoided, because the
unique camouflage would be covered
by the weathering.
This is a very nice model for the price / performance is just fine and even a beginner in
our hobby would enjoy building this model kit.
I hope you like the model and I hope it goives other modellers some inspiration
on their next model.
Many greetings from Germany.
Jens Gerber
