Hello Konstantin,
first of all thank you for the research work you take.
Well, as Massimo, I don't think this "white 14" is the same that mine
(honestly, even if I thought it was, I wouldn't change anything, too late)
about the profils, I don't doubt that one profil, right or wrong was popied x time (I often see this phenomen with french planes). The question is witch reference has the first profil drawer...
Anyway as I told you before, it's the first time I work without plane pics. My goal was to do I-15 painted as they were before WWII with AII alu and AE-9...
If there is an important pic for me, it's that one:
in mine magazine, the tail didn't appear, so I had not the code number; otherwise I would have done the "red 3" surely.
So was this I-15 bis I done the D. Gusarov's one or not? However, my model is quite representative of an I-15 bis in the begining of Kalkin gol war.
Do you agree with me?
in the same kind of idea, I will represent the plane with adhesiv tape in the tail, because it can also be representativ of the I-15bis in this period...
In my way to see modeling, we can make choice with insured things, but it have always to make sens and those choices have to be the fruit of an investigation...
hope you agree with me ...
