Hi Misos, I think that the 18 had a tail skid while the 24 had a tail wheel. Besides the 24 should have an access hatch on the rear fuselage side. Regards Massimo

Hi Massimo, do you have, please, or could you point me at the reliable photo of I-16 Type 18? There is a lot of profiles on the web, but I cannot find any photo. Thank you. Regards, 66misos

HI, here is work in progres on Polikarpov I-16 Type 18: It should be this plane. I have found it via yandex.ru at some Russian page with the description that it is Type 18: Notes: - star has the same light shade as number 13, - number 13 seems to have white outline, - on the upper photo visible piece of the prop spinner seems to have apparently lighter color than fuselage, - prop blades are not black, e.g.the are pre-war NMF, - stars visible on the upper wings, e.g. it is still pre-war livery. Regards, 66misos

Hi Misos, it looks good. I think that the back of the bades was black, but very worn and let see the metal on the outer part of the blades, that had the highest speed. regards Massimo

Hi Misos, I have the impression that the front edge of the fin is too curved, and that the windshield should be more angular at the level of the intermediate frame and less shifted backwards. Regards Massimo

Hi Massimo, thank you for comment. It was not so easy to correct it now within all those layers but I tried my best. I hope it is better now. I replaced original profile with the corrected one in my post above. And now let's go on the Type 24 in black-green camo, 4-view. Regards, 66misos

Hi Misos, I'm sorry to have not seen it before. A technique that I sometimes use is to make a copy of a part of the drawing with 'copy united elements', glue it over the wrong part and use deformation commands to improve it. Of course, the method has its limits. Regards Massimo

Hi Massimo, no problem, any correction is welcame, rather latter than not at all. Here is Type 24. I do not have a photo of it, but it reminds me my childhood when I got a book about war planes and this one was at the cover. I like it since then. Massimo, I realised now that this thread should be rather in the section Great Patriotic War / Prewar types during the GPW. Could you, please, remove this thread there? Thank you. Regards, 66misos

Hi Misos, nice painting. Is this the drawing for the book? I've moved the topic as requested. Regards Massimo

Hi Massimo, thank you. All these profiles are for the book. However, in the meantime I found this photo: It seem this is original plane. On the Russian forums some sources identify it as plane from 122 iap, mid july 1941, other sources identify it as a plane belonged to Lev Shestakov from 69 iap, Odesa, summer 1941. If it is really this plane and if one compares shade of the red star and the tail, the tail does not look red. It looks dark due to (dark) reflection of the surrounding country on the polished dark green AIIz surface similarly to the reflections on the sides and bottom of the fuselage. I will make another, more reliable camouflage. Regards, 66misos

Hi Misos, I agree, it doesn't seem red. Too dark.The difference in the shade of green between metallic and wooden parts is very tricky. The nose doesn't seem black too. Pity, but I suspected this, thinking to a I-16 with blue tail from EP. Regards Massimo

Hi Misos, good work, but I suggest to reconsider the position of the red stars, the one on the fin should have the hinge line where the right brace starts, while the one on the fuselage should be a bit lower. Regards Massimo
