Polikarpov I-16 Type 10

The kit has been converted from the Hasegawa Type 18 into the Type 10. Two new exhausts have been added to the bottom of the engine, as well as a new air inlet and a new spinner. Besides a lot of scratch work, the engine of the old Revell kit was used, the canopy comes from Clear Vacs, the decals from Blue Rider and the exhaust pipes from Moss Kit.

Anybody doubting the colour of the camouflage is advised to visit the web site of "Modeling the Aircraft of the Soviet VVS" at www.hobbyvista.com 

The model shows a plane of the Chinese Air Force in 1938.
