Hi, I’m about to start building this little number and i’m wondering if anyone have already built it. What’s your comments about this kit (pros, cons). I’d also like to find some good reference pictures (cockpit mainly) on the net. Could anyone help me? Thanks for sharing J-P
The Academy I-16 is a reboxed Hobbycraft kit. I would do a google for Hobbycraft I-16.
Cheers,
Max Bryant
As Max said, It’s a reboxed Hobbycraft kit & not one of Hobbycrafts’ better efforts. If you just want a simple build with very basic detail, it’s OK. If you really want an I-16, bin it & get one of the new Eduard kits.
Regards, Rick
It’s supposed to be a reasonable kit:
