SOLIDKREATE Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) I don't have the BOM expansion yet so I request this one: History and more images (Source: http://flyingheritage.com/TemplatePlane.aspx?contentId=23) Place in history: The 1-16 Rata (nickname meaning "rat") was the world's first single-winged fighter plane with retractable landing gear. It was not a particularly fast or nimble craft, but after its debut, the bi-winged linen-skinned fighter became a thing of the past. In 1927, Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin demanded a technically superior fighter for the Red Air Force. Designers Nikolai Polikarpov and Dmitri Grigorovich were ordered to create one "under state supervision," while in prison. The resulting I-16 was small, light, and could withstand tremendous amounts of damage while still remaining airworthy. After pilots ran out of ammunition, many rammed their enemies in mid-air.This aircraft: Delivered to its air force on July 10, 1940, this Rata served on the Eastern Front during World War II and it was shot down by Finnish fire. In July, 1991, its wreckage was discovered in Karelia, Russia, and was rebuilt at the same factory where it was originally manufactured. A number of the workers who restored the plane had worked on the original I-16 production line as children. This craft is one of only a few flying I-16s in existence.

Obelix Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 The late production ones , by 1940, were camoflaged (black or AII Dark green over AII green).
Finkeren Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Some white camouflaged ones would be good There's a white camo included in the template, you can make one in a matter of minutes.

No_85_Gramps Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 A simple change to the layers in the psd file for an all-white I16. Have to play around with this some more, unfortunately be out of town for a while.

9./JG27golani79 Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 Here is one more - even though this was probably an I-16 Type 10 probably from a soviet volunteer flying for China. Not sure if this one had roundels on the upper side of the wings. Download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bfrhg08xr0iegmk/I16Type24_Soviet_Volunteer_Chinese.dds?dl=0 1 7
Finkeren Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Absolutely smashing skins Golani and Trefil. We are off to a brilliant start.
Finkeren Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 I was wondering if I could get anyone to try their hand at this one (yes I realize it's not a Type 24): It's got a two-tone green camouflage loosely painted over the peace time silver finish (those are the light grey parts visible through the green. It's only got stars on the lower wings and likely retained the silver finish on the underside. I was wondering if, by fiddling with the alpha layer, it would actually be posible to have the silver parts shine more than the painted parts? I realize it's asking a lot, but I've always really liked this profile drawing and would love to see it be made real. 3
9./JG27golani79 Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 I think I might give it a try - the upperside of the wings was painted the same way? 1
Finkeren Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 I think I might give it a try - the upperside of the wings was painted the same way? No idea, but it would make sense. Thanks a lot
Finkeren Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 That's gonna be a real winner obelix. Great job so far
79_vRAF_Friendly_flyer Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) A nice site showing the internal and surface structure of an I-16 under reconstruction, should be useful for the skinners: http://www.aero-restauration-service.fr/en/achievements/realisations.php?id=146 It does for instance look like the whole wing, plywood parts and all, had a canvas covering, and the plywood surface was only directly visible on the fuselage: Edited July 22, 2015 by 79_vRAF_Friendly_flyer 1
79_vRAF_Friendly_flyer Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Notice the slight difference in how the paint present the pigment ever so slightly different depending on surface: 1
