Hello sovietwarplanes forum's friend,

this is my last one:
Le I-16 type 4 au 1/48!

an old project come true!
Of course this version doesn't exist at 1/48
but there is in "escala espaƱola" e real artist, Ricardo Rodriguez, very found of I-16
he gave master classes to make accurate I-16 with Eduard base.
i put in my french forum a compilation of htis work (don't worry about language pics are very clear!)
http://www.master194.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=91297
after speaking with him i decided to work on a trasformation from type 10 to type 4, and he send me a resin copy of his work : it was heaven!
Sorry friends don't ask for a set , he told me i wouldn't do more copy...



I decided to do this plane the very first plane after the I-16 prototype...



During the mount, a rusian friend of mine send me the same pics recently discovered in HD quality.
zooming the pic I notice a black bordered red satr in the fuselage: nobody never represent it in any profile!



there has been two type of cowling (Ricardo represented both) short and long.



I prefered the second one, that's why I chose this plane, and not this one I first wanted to do...




the step by step in french can be seen here (with google transation, no problem):

Well here are the pics:

Hi Xan,
very interesting work.
The model looks excellent, and the discovery of the red star is a good information. The Spanish modeller made excellent resin pieces.
I think that a 1/72 version could be made by using the cowling of an I-15bis and an engine from some other biplane, on the base of the Amodel type 5/6. 
Thank you for sharing the work.
Regards
Massimo

Great work on the Type 4 Xan!

I have been reading through Ricardo Rodriguez' "Project Ishak."  Did he by any chance finish the project, and if so, do you know where I could find said work?  Thanks.

I will ask him and come back soon.
