Hi all heres the Zvezda Polikarpov i-16 snap together kit in 1/144. Obviously being a kit of few parts I didnt bother with a build log , suffice to say it goes together superbly and is very finely detailed for a kit thats supposed to be mainly for wargamers. I got myself an aftermarket decal sheet as the generic decals in the kit were very basic , the AM sheet however contains decals to do no less than twenty different aircraft and a varied selection of air forces. I chose the captured Romanian machine , I'll be getting lots more of these so I can do some of the other schemes too (scratching a pair of skis in 1/144 for the Finnish one is going to be fun , and crash moulding a tiny enclosed canopy for the typ 5 versions is very tricky!) Heres the pics with a couple of size references , cheers tony
