Few in flight photos of Polikarpov I-16 and I-15 , taken from the 1941 movie , nice schemes, possible overall silver with red or black details.



































Any comment about these schemes, I-16 type or I-15 scheme and type.

Hi,
beautiful images. Thank you for sharing.
I suppose that the I-16 is silver, with black or dark red bands, black numbers and white drops and thinner lines. The spinner looks black, while the engine disk could be dark red.
The I-15bis could be dark red with white or cream bands, white disks and slogans and black numbers.
It's interesting to see that the slogan on the I-15bis has been modified on some photos.
What does the inscription mean?
Is there any other source describing these planes? Has anyone contacts with Russian forums?

I'm not sure whether this can be a sort of a slang or something else what might be out of context, but "Prikazyvaju rygai" should read  "I order gurk / burp / spew"... Pretty naturalistic?

Are you sure? The word прыгай means jump so in the first photo inscription says "jump" and the later modified version reads "I order jump!!!"

Sure, you are right. I looked only at the third picture from below, where the "P" is not that visible. Sorry for that.
