This was a fun little kit. I used ModelNerd’s I-16 resin set for the interior. I kept it simple- no shading, weathering, chipping or even dull coat. Just a fun little model! Great for what ails ya!
I have a full build report here.
Nice little build. The Russians had some unusual planes back in those days.

Wow Jon!…very very nice! The clean look really works! I’m starting to get hooked on this airframe darnit! Really tiny looking for 1/48…but I run into that a lot![(-D]

Jon, great job on the Rata.
Academy’s kit may not be that accurate, but it really is a fun little build.

Nice job there Jon! You are right the Acadamy kit is a fun build. I build one a couple of years ago. it might be a simple kit but it is very enjoyable and looks good when finished.
