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.

Some white camouflaged ones would be good

Posted

The late production ones , by 1940,  were camoflaged (black or AII Dark green over AII green).

There's a white camo included in the template, you can make one in a matter of minutes.

Love the new skins!  Thanks guys!

Absolutely smashing skins Golani and Trefil.

 

We are off to a brilliant start. :good:

I was wondering if I could get anyone to try  their hand at this one (yes I realize it's not a Type 24):

 

1_86.jpg

 

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.

I think I might give it a try - the upperside of the wings was painted the same way?

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:

Notice the slight difference in how the paint present the pigment ever so slightly different depending on surface:
