Heres the two polikarpovi-16s ive been working on , a conversion to a typ 5 of the Republican air arm from the Spanish civil war and a captured i-16 used by the Ilmavoimat ( Finnish air force )in 1943 against the Russians in the continuation war .
Both are the excellent Zvezda snap fit 1/144 , with decals courtesy of print scale and scratchbuilt additions .I also included the Romanian i-16 I did a while back in the photos .thanks for looking , cheers tony4382C483-5824-4715-B588-1CB2CEF6CC8D.jpegB1581181-7CA5-4F0C-82FC-3984C102C1C4.jpeg825FD053-A529-4582-B414-703B05C3D62B.jpegE47D8B67-D958-4832-96EE-95281CFF3525.jpeg450F3AF5-DFF9-40D5-90A6-6F9F16B81702.jpegB84C5B5E-5F45-44D3-B96A-3A84996913A1.jpegA776D1C3-9AA9-424A-88E1-6BE868661A45.jpegBF9E6923-478B-4B54-9742-D5BF80B16634.jpegEFD336F1-5B6F-4C99-97EE-D1152003DB1C.jpeg17446022-8EEA-458A-BC2E-3CBED744EDB3.jpegA7028B8F-E65B-487C-B30D-4C6C3F51BF2F.jpegE019429F-FB20-4461-8F36-606F2A948EDB.jpeg116DD048-1B1B-47F6-B071-BBB14F1709AA.jpegF5348230-4418-40B7-93AE-27411F5C5508.jpeg

Hang on a minute Tony..........I'm trying to find my "Hubble" Telescope so's I can see 'em :nerd: :tongue-out3: :tongue-out::thumb2:
Those are very neat looking.....I particularly like the struts you installed on the skis for stabilization...pure genius, that is. Rick H.

Hi Tony
Those are great. I scrolled through the photos and came to the one with all three on your hand and WOW! - those are tiny. Fine skills to scratch parts like the skiis at this scale.

That’s a very colourful little trio. Excellent work, especially at such a small scale. Are there any more 144s in the offing?

Beautiful.

PS I was going to add that I would have bet you could fit all three on the palm of your hand - and you beat me to it!

Thanks for the positive comments everyone , i really enjoyed these , the micro additions took some careful handling , i lost count of the number of times I dropped the tiny canopy for the typ 5 on the floor and had to get on my hands and knees with the torch ! The next one will be straight out of the box though .
