yep, been at it again, saw that Spanky fancied a winter cam for the i16, this one isn't anything true to the war.. but thought it'd be ok till I find some winter cam pics of it to get a better idea, it's posted in my skins section, just extract direct into the textures folder for the i16  ------------------

I have some good plates of the I-16 in all sorts of camo: Spanish Civil War, Chinese, Eastern Front (green, 2 tone camo and winter) and a nice Finish eg. I will try and knock something up in the next few days.------------------

If I'm not totally mistaken, the russian AF didn't paint red stars on the top of the wings. Only to the fuselage, rudder and the underside of the wings.Camo IP: Logged |

Well, if pictures in books mean anything, and sometimes they don't....I have a picture of one with a star on the top of the wing. PR=FC= IP: Logged |

As I understand it you can paint anything anywhere, you only had to use the correct colors.Read this:

I read from one source that most later model I-16s didn't use the upper wing star. Key words there are most and later models. That doesn't mean they didn't have them at all.There's a museum in New Zealand that has around 6 I-16s I believe. Some have upper wing stars, some don't. Some of the plastic I-16 models in the site that Laika801 linked to are the same way. Some have upper wing stars, some don't. The choice is yours. IP: Logged |
