Approximately 250 new images (6 pages plus) of German photos. One problem - now that the owner of the site is using it to sell books (possibly has found a sponsor, ozon.ru? This is a good thing, if it keeps the site alive), viewing the images requires a lot of extra scrolling in both vertical and horizontal directions because of the awkward and variable way the screen is split.
That resolution you use? I try to fix this problem. |

Thanks for the suggestion - I'll try changing my resolution and see if that improves anything. Thank you (again!) for a great web site! John |

John That is right: thank you again, avia-n-aero, for this excellent site. Without it, all those historical photos would be lost for the most of people after few weeks. Massimo |

Thanks Massimo,it?s a great image.You?re right,the P-40 looks very dark;and the Spitfire was repainted as it looks like it has just only one colour on the upper side and the demarcation line between colours is a little bit lower.Greetings.

Massimo
The P-40N? Yes,it could be recently applied AMT-12 but the colour looks too dark,original Olive Drab perhaps? The Spitfire could be AMT-4 over AMT-7.Greetings. Martin |

What do you make of this? Looks like a very attractive I-16 type 5, found on ebay.de today. I wonder what colour(s) the fin/rudder and cowling were (maybe the elevators, too?)?  Some other interesting-looking I-16's in the photo too! John |

Nice image, John.
I think that the first I-16 has AII livery with black nose; other I-16s look to have a lighter cowling, possibly A-19 as MiGs.
On the left side, the UTI-4 could have black nose and stripe over a light (grey or silver) background.
Any ideas?
Massimo

Hi John and Massimo,  If that I-16 remained in its original 1935-1936 colours (black nose would suggest this case), than use old pre 1937 "Zashtitniy" Akan 363 and "blue-gray" Akan 371. Acording to Akanihin, begining of use of AII Z (green) was in June 1937. At that time black noses were out of the fashion and silver was the last hit. Late Type 5 with fixed windshield were painted in overall silver - John has a nice e-bay photo (his favourite I-16) of a silver I-16. Anyway, I wouldn't use AII Green for upper surfaces of I-16 Type 5 with enclosed cockpit and black nose. Cheers, KL |

Thanks, KL - that's very interesting (I need a lot more Akan paints...)! What do you think about the apparently dark colour of the fin and rudder? Would dark blue be possible? Black, maybe? Thanks again! (One more thing - is it safe to assume that an I-16 with the black cowling would also have the early wing structure - fewer wing ribs with wider spacing? The Amodel I-16 type 5/6 has the later wing structure, as of course do the ICM I-16 kits, but this could be modified with some work, or even just sanded down - the ribs aren't always so obvious that they are needed in 1/72 scale!) (Another thing - based on your thread about I-15bis underside colours at Scalemodels.ru, couldn't the correct colour for I-16's built before 1937 (or even later) possibly be aluminum instead of blue?) http://scalemodels.ru/modules/forum/viewtopic_t_20208.htmlJohn |
