Title: i-16 10 Post by: mc65 on December 16, 2020, 03:10:53 AM here I am with the other recent kit I did, the ICM 1-16 in the early sub 10.
exactly 40 years ago I was struck by this photo https://flic.kr/p/2khdckL (https://flic.kr/p/2khdckL) and finally ICM produced this simple but beautiful kit in 1/32, which I assembled OOB, limiting myself to a few modifications in the engine area and in the cockpit. to make the engine visible, I installed micromagnets to keep the hoods in place in a non-invasive way. https://www.flickr.com/gp/191490674@N08/9UxQ8G (https://www.flickr.com/gp/191490674@N08/9UxQ8G) https://www.flickr.com/gp/191490674@N08/sd8471 (https://www.flickr.com/gp/191490674@N08/sd8471) https://www.flickr.com/gp/191490674@N08/32o98U (https://www.flickr.com/gp/191490674@N08/32o98U) https://www.flickr.com/gp/191490674@N08/n3L3Lb (https://www.flickr.com/gp/191490674@N08/n3L3Lb) https://www.flickr.com/gp/191490674@N08/70jTYh (https://www.flickr.com/gp/191490674@N08/70jTYh) https://www.flickr.com/gp/191490674@N08/8snNP8 (https://www.flickr.com/gp/191490674@N08/8snNP8) https://www.flickr.com/gp/191490674@N08/a9nb28 (https://www.flickr.com/gp/191490674@N08/a9nb28) https://www.flickr.com/gp/191490674@N08/i396iH (https://www.flickr.com/gp/191490674@N08/i396iH) https://www.flickr.com/gp/191490674@N08/361Y62 (https://www.flickr.com/gp/191490674@N08/361Y62) cheers, P.

beautiful model again. I would like to know more, particularly about the micro-magnets. it's the first time I hear of them, where can one find them? Regards Massimo Title: Re: i-16 10 Post by: mc65 on December 16, 2020, 07:08:45 PM glad you like it, I found this kit really funny to do, almost a weekend project!
talking about micromagnets, I stock up here: https://www.supermagnete.it/dischi-magneti-neodimio the smaller ones have dimensions compatible with most of the large-scale models, and give the possibility to leave visible parts otherwise destined to disappear forever, unless you make a model with all the doors open, which in general I don't like. I put here a couple of links of the wip where I used them, those are written in Italian, but I hope the images speak for themselves. https://mab.forumfree.it/?t=77523573 https://mab.forumfree.it/?t=77612512&st=15 anyway for any further information I'm here, it's a pleasure to share what I think is a good idea! cheers, P. Title: Re: i-16 10 Post by: Massimo Tessitori on December 18, 2020, 04:09:33 PM Hi Paolo,
this forum is nice, maybe I'll post something on tank models. So, you've made an Ar-196 with engine details. Very nice model. I wonder if magnets could be good for external loads, so one can show a model both in clean and loaded configuration at will. Regards Massimo Title: Re: i-16 10 Post by: mc65 on December 19, 2020, 12:54:24 AM the answer is absolutely yes!
I have already used this technique on an F104's external tanks and I'm planning a Me262 with at least one interchangeable engine: naked and closed in its hood. having the chance to see your models will be a pleasure, I'll wait for you on MAB! cheers, P.
