I found this link for you to see (if interested) some details on the I-16 , nice site with a lot of reference photos and reference colors for Russian planes .

About the Eduard kit : Nice little kit , not too easy in some steps and some attention needed in some steps , but a very nice little build and makes me wish to make at least another version of this 'RATA' (that is Rat in Spanish ...it was the nicckname for this plane in Spanish Civil War , used by Republican Forces)
Here are the photos :

















Finish with some photos on a small base I have around , it wasn't made on purpose for this build
