Title: I-16 skins?
Post by: Karnak on June 10, 2009, 06:56:39 PM: Greebo,

Have you prepped any other I-16 skins? Chinese or such?

Post by: Greebo on June 11, 2009, 02:35:18 AM: This is the I-16 Type 17 of Soviet ace Boris Safanov, who shot down 25 enemy aircraft in I-16s, Hurricanes and P-40s. There is a full biography at this site: http://www.2gvsap.org/safonov.htm (http://www.2gvsap.org/safonov.htm)

This was originally going to be the default skin but then I decided to skin the Segalaev aircraft as an alternate as this was closer to the late model I-16s the AH hybrid is based on. I posted both and let Waffle decide which one to use.

BTW Safanov's I-16 was one of the few home produced VVS aircraft that did have stars on the upper wings.

I haven't decided which other I-16s I will be skinning yet, but a winter one is certainly on the cards.

Post by: Wmaker on June 11, 2009, 09:46:56 AM: Hehehe!

Once again I see we think alike, Greebo! :)

Although, this is a famous scheme and flown by a famous ace so its not that surprising.

I like the ones with huge slogans, I think they are hilarious. :D

Other famous scheme would be this "FOR CCCP!":

Only a model, and there are many interpretations of this scheme...just posted a quick pic.

One from Finnish front:

This one says:
One of the six 24th Chungtui, IVth tatui I-16 to have taken part in the first conflict against the Zeros of the Yokoyama unit, near Chungking on sep. 13th 1940. Two of the 24th's pilots were killed, including Yang Meng-ch'ing, commander, a third being critically wounded... These machines were more probably type 10 than typ 18, our documentation not enabling us to rule out either one.

Post by: Treize69 on June 11, 2009, 09:07:16 PM: The Rumanian one in Rattfink's post never saw combat, it was a captured one used for orientation and adversary training by the ARR.

Which wouldn't be let in game since, I'm guessing, this all took place in the Spanish Civil War and before September 1, 1939.

Post by: Greebo on June 15, 2009, 04:48:06 AM: I'll probably do the white Guards No 21 aircraft as my next I-16 skin.

BTW I asked Pyro and Spanish Civil War skins are not allowed for the MA. Skins of captured aircraft used by the Spanish Fascist Air Force during WW2 are not likely to be allowed either, which is a shame because I found a really nice one.

You have it backwards Comrad. It flew in the Spanish Civil War as part of the Republican Forces which were supported by the Sovet Union by sending supplies and "volunteers".

July 17, 1936 to April 1, 1939.

wrongway

There are many Rebublicans that went to fight for Russia after SCW <20k+->.
I read some where about this plane as it went with them as did many of there wares.
There is plenty of info on the the Esquadrilla Azul.
Trying to find info on the losers is much harder ...... Comrad!

I could use some help though.
Title: Re: I-16 skins?
Post by: Greebo on June 21, 2009, 05:14:34 AM: This is my skin of an I-16 Type 24 of the 4th GIAP. It was probably the personal aircraft of Lt. G. Tsokolaev, who was made a HSU in June 42 for having shot down 20 aircraft. The 4th GIAP covered the supply route across Lake Ladoga to the beseiged city of Leningrad in the winter of 1941/42.
