Eduard 1/48 Polikarpov I-16 with Full Video Build

[builder2000]

My latest build. The Eduard Polikarpov I-16 Type 10 in Chinese Markings. I have done a full video build showing pretty much the entire process with time lapse where required. I painted the kit with Humbrol Enamels and Tamiya Enamels. I used a host of weathering products, all detailed in the video. The video itself took almost as long as the kit, but I think it does a decent job of showing what goes into building a kit. 

 

I hope you all enjoy!

Great job!  I'll watch the vid later.

I wondered if you were inspired by the 2019 movie "Air Strike."  With Bruce Willis.  A Chinese-financed movie about its war with Japan, before and after WWII.  Not a very good movie overall, IMO.  But it does have some pretty neat CGI scenes of I-16's taking on Japanese Zeroes, Betty bombers etc.
