Title: I-16 Type 5 & 10 cockpit color Post by: steph40 on November 22, 2018, 11:03:48 PM Hello,
Maybe already asked but the only topic I found about it is this one: http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/board/index.php?topic=1828.0 (http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/board/index.php?topic=1828.0) but the link to hobbyvista doesn't work... I've 3 projects regarding the I-16: a Chinese type 5 (between February and May 1938) and two Spanish Republican type 10 (both Summer/Falls 1938). I found several infos about the cockpit colors of these "little fighters" - All clear blue/grey (underside color ?) - All clear blue/grey with black controls - All clear blue/grey with green controls - All A14 color with black controls What is the good option please ? TIA, regards Stéph PS: I painted my Spanish Republican I-15 cockpit in light blue/grey color with black controls... ::) Title: Re: I-16 Type 5 & 10 cockpit color Post by: Massimo Tessitori on November 23, 2018, 08:05:51 AM Hi Steph,
I think that you would be interested to see the work of BLG. He is making a complete collection of I-16s in 1/72. Some links to french forums: http://fighters.forumactif.com/t88113p25-polikarpov-i-16-du-proto-au-i-185-pj-amodel-icm-artmodel-1-72#1758915 (http://fighters.forumactif.com/t88113p25-polikarpov-i-16-du-proto-au-i-185-pj-amodel-icm-artmodel-1-72#1758915) http://fighters.forumactif.com/t88113p50-polikarpov-i-16-du-proto-au-i-185-pj-amodel-icm-artmodel-1-72#1763718 (http://fighters.forumactif.com/t88113p50-polikarpov-i-16-du-proto-au-i-185-pj-amodel-icm-artmodel-1-72#1763718) He translated some of his works into English and published them on Sovietwarplanes http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/board/index.php?topic=2396.0 (http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/board/index.php?topic=2396.0) http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/board/index.php?topic=2395.0 (http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/board/index.php?topic=2395.0) Polikarpov donkey's family. Part 1: the ancester TsKB-12 (http://Polikarpov donkey's family. Part 1: the ancester TsKB-12) but now I think that he was discouraged to continue the translation because there was no any encouraging post except for mine. I suggest to post a PM here to ask him. About the color of I-16s: I think that the dominant factory color was light grey, but that light blue was likely too, maybe as repainting. The UTI-4 in Finnish museum has light blue insides. The I-17 of 1934/35 has white insides and dark green instrument panel. The mockups in Spanish museum have medium grey insides, for what I could see. Please, keep us informed on your works.
