Thanks, mate! Highly appreciated! :bow:


A 1/144 version would cost a fortune, as it'd have to come with a microscope included! :o ;D ;D ;D

принести славный день

Very good.   :thumbsup:

I have built a 1/72 I-16.  I nearly lost it when ants tried to carry it away from my bench...

And their bites hurt like blazes.
They like to wander up your workboots and bite you just above the sock.

And of course they can strip a fully grown human to the bone in a matter of minutes.   ;)

That really has come out well mate  :bow: Rather oddly the first thing that came to mind when looking at the comparison photo with the Hellcat from above was how similar to the Boomerang's wings the I-16's are ??

Well they wouldn't want to bite your sock would they ?  ;) :angel:

Thanks, Chris! :thumbsup: :bow:

Can't say I can see the Boomerang similarity; the I-16's wings taper almost (if not actually) symmetrically from the leading & trailing edges, while the Boomerang's leading edges sweep backwards towards the straight trailing edges.

Very much so, but for some reason my brain just went "Boomerang" ???
