I just picked up the 1/32 Special Hobby Polikarpov I-16 Type 10 and need to find some aftermarket Spanish Civil War markings for this kit. So far I haven’t found anything except a set of dry transfers http://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/decals/cr/decal_cr32002.shtml
Anyone know where I might be able to find some Spanish Civil War markings for this plane?
Those transfers you are looking at are all post war as the roundels are red/yellow.
If you’re making a republican plane, all it should take for the basic scheme and markings is rudimentary masking skills. Just a green over blue scheme with a red stripe on each wing and between the cockpit and tail with the tri-color on the rudder. The hardest part would be finding letter number decals that are correct, but they are basic block letters and nothing fancy.
Thanks Quailane. I’ve found a couple of photos if the I-16 with some pretty simplistic markings, should be no problem to mask and paint. I may find something else to build for the Spanish Civil War GB as I’m really intrigued with the option to build my I-16 with skis and the winter camo.
