Small but beautifully formed. Nice one John.

This, to me, is a thing off beauty.
Love the paint, the weathering is spot on, and the chipping. How did you get the chipping so fine, did you chip with a brush?

[Smiffy]

Wonderful I-16, I really like your weathering. It was a real joy following your build thread.

[Avgas]

Lovely build and great weathering.

I used a sponge

[TommyKillander]

This is a wonderful model of a small but beautiful aircraft.

I love the combination of red and green colors. Weathering is top notch!

Awesome result - Well done!

That look awesome, well done.
Looks so used and abused

I just don't want to be the one who as to go into combat with a open cockpit and their shooting at you

Such a cool looking plane - I only wish I knew how to "do" planes cause this would be on my list.

[BaldyBuilderBoy]

All of the above mate. Lovely looking build and the weathering is spot on. "Used and abused" but not overdone.

[JudgeDredd]

You know, I think they're kind of ugly looking birds, but you've made her look very respectable.

Good job.

[Scaleman]

Awesome little thing, funny aerodynamics
