Special Hobby Polikarpov i-16 1/32nd
Posted by PatW on Thursday, October 13, 2016 5:15 AM

A big kit with loads of resin and PE parts. All parts fit well, no flash on the sprues. I chose the weatherbeaten, well worn look. I don't know why as my experience in this is very limited and looking at YouTube tutorials, my products are limited to spray and hand paints, and no powders etc.

 

I replaced the exhausts with alloy tube with a clear blue to show heat.

If I choose to use this worn look again I won't spray on so many coats as they were hard to rub through. I will though spray a silver coat onto the grey undercoat to show more reality when rubbed through.

That's some sharp work, I too love the weather-beaten look. Yes
