« on: July 08, 2012, 07:42:24 PM »
Which type of I-16 do we have?  And which types are allowed to be skinned on what we have?

I think we have a hybrid of 18 and 24.

based on the gun platforms available to us and the weight of the plane, karnak is correct.

Sweet!  Could I talk a skinner into doing this Type 24?

For the MA you can skin any I-16 that saw service in WW2.

It is a nice scheme, but I'd be happier if I had an actual photo of the plane to base a skin on.

Thanks for the photo Lyric. I will do the skin for you Ranger, but there is a chance I may not be able to finish it for a few weeks.

I am quite fond of the I-16 and any early war birds, thank you so much for putting some time into these birds.

They don't get the top tier status as the P-51D and other late war monsters, but you can't help but marvel at one time this bird was the top of its class.
