Title: I-16 questions
Post by: USRanger 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.

Ranger, this is "Greebo Talk" for "there are insufficient funds in my bank account please remedy this as soon as possible".               :devil
