Bill GilmanLooking good! I always thought the I-16 belonged at the air races, it reminds me of the racers from the 30s.

Mike KryzaThe first pics are looking good - but in 1:72 it's a very "little" bird.

Urban Gardini 著者Thanks! I've got it in 1:48 as well n' then it looks like a 1:72 kit so it's a small bird allright.

Wilfried BogaertsUrban, with your kind permission, I'm gonna follow this build with interest

Urban Gardini 著者You bet that mate! I prove it for you then as you can see in the last two comparison photos.
23 April 2012, 10:43
Wilfried BogaertsOh my, yes, it is even smaller then I could imagine, thx for the comparpix Urban!

Bill GilmanIt's size is what reminds me of the 1930s air racers, like the planes built by the Granville Brothers (GeeBee). And the general layout, with a large engine cowling (compared to the fuselage) and the location of the cockpit near the trailing edge of the wing. For its time, it must have been a little "hot rod" as we say over here.

Urban Gardini 著者Takin' shape! I've managed to build a little bit more tonight...
23 April 2012, 22:27
Urban Gardini 著者Success n' failure together hand in hand in an uneventful n' unproductive day.
Drilled out the fuselage MG's n' failed in my atempt to drill out the MG's on one of the birds.

Wilfried BogaertsOops, these things can happen 🙁 but I'm sure you'll fix it. Why that putty/Mr. Surfacer around the edges of the cooling openings?
25 April 2012, 16:26
Urban Gardini 著者It's not putty at all. Just me bein' lazy dabblin' the paint with a brush. Forgot the inside when I airbrushed the rest.

Urban Gardini 著者Finaly, after nearly two months without doin' anything on this build or any other build for that matter I've managed today to put 'em both on their legs. Nothin' complicated with it but a bit tedious with all the small parts. I've crawled on the floor swearin' with a flashlight searchin' for parts half of the buildtime today.

Holger KranichSo i´m more exited about the result! I tryed it once on a Bf-110 but it didnt worked for me ( Maybe because i painted with a brush...), so good luck!!!

Wilfried BogaertsVery curious about the outcome, I like it already !
A seasoned Polikarpov from a seasoned modeler😉

Urban Gardini 著者Thanks mates, I'm not done yet n' there's still plenty of room for misstakes here...
21 June 2012, 18:39
Dave Flittonerrrrr...before putting the salt on, did you put silver paint underneath the area to be weathered?
21 June 2012, 18:43
Urban Gardini 著者No, I didn't as I only wanted the base coat to be visible under the white. The other bird will be nice n' clean.

Urban Gardini 著者Decals from hell in place n' covered with a layer of Tamiya X-35

Markus Kutsch The Plastic BenchLooks great,Urban.Will you do a little retouch (chipping) with a brush?
1 July 2012, 08:37
Urban Gardini 著者Thanks mates! Markus, I've not decided on it as I tend to do stuff like this as I go along...
1 July 2012, 10:42
Urban Gardini 著者Hey mates! Remember these? Five more photos now of the latest development on 'em. More or less just the weatherin' left to do on 'em now.

Frank KrauseSay what you want, but... the Rata is an ugly plane!
However, you did a good on them so far. 👍 The finals are close..., I suppose.

Markus Kutsch The Plastic BenchI like the "fat" one! Looks very great the chipping.Interesting plane!

Michel HuijgheNot bad and knowing how small the I-16 is on 1/48th scale how tiny must it be in 1/72nd scale.
29 January 2013, 17:49
Urban Gardini 著者Thanks! They're far from big but they're indeed cute little buggers...
29 January 2013, 18:03
Michel HuijgheI've made one in 1/48th scale and when comparing it to my Il-2 there small.

Martien LourensMine is better ....... no friend ...... this is perfect.👍
I'm still practicing with the salt technique.
very nice winter camouflage. I'm jealous 🙂
And thanks for your comment on my I-16
And good that you have written of yours I-16.

Urban Gardini 著者Thanks mate! But you're playin' down your own build. Your chippin' n' preshade is great on your build.

Michel Huijghe@Urban
Thanks but I also love the chipping on the wing root and in combination with the white. 🙂
