Title: Eduard 1/48 I-16 Type 10 Over Spain Dual Combo (Limited edition)
Post by: draken35 on March 28, 2012, 11:25:46 AM: Time to resume modeling after two weeks that were very hard...

I will build for review the I-16 Type 10 from Eduard. At first regard, the content of the box is gorgeous...

Post by: draken35 on July 07, 2012, 03:54:31 PM: It is time now to resume the work on those nice I-16... I will give priority to that combo build now.

First, as the plan shows the half fuselage inverted on the first page, to avoid any mistake I've numbered the half fuselages with a marker...
I have placed the photoetch elements inside the fuselage, and the exhausts - For the exhausts it was not so easy to place, but no real problem anyway.
In the process I've lost a tiny PE element; fortunately the part existed in injected so for one aircraft I've used that one instead.

...Naturally, having finished the work for today, I've found the lost element on my work table... :-evil

Post by: Second Air Force on July 09, 2012, 11:26:26 PM: I am anxious to see how your fuselage halves fit together. My (much older) kit gave me a little work to do in that operation. They're moving along nicely!
Title: Re: Eduard 1/48 I-16 Type 10 Over Spain Dual Combo (Limited edition)
Post by: draken35 on July 10, 2012, 07:48:25 PM: Well Scott, half fuselages seem to fit well together (trials are satisfying me)...

Little progress today... PE is glued.

Post by: Second Air Force on July 10, 2012, 10:52:50 PM: Nor can much be seen through the little cockpit "hole"! :-eek

I'm glad to hear the halves fit nicely. My sample had been on a shelf for a long time and I believe one half was warped a bit because of that.

Very nice job Second Air Force, I have Eduard's I-16 kit and this will help me!!

I follow you in your WIP.

Post by: Second Air Force on July 11, 2012, 01:41:37 AM: Memitus,

This one is actually by our own draken35, not I!

I did build one on LLL some time ago. It's a great kit, and watching this dual-build is twice the fun.....

Post by: draken35 on July 16, 2012, 06:54:10 PM: Thank you!

Second Air Force sent me a PM very useful:
"You mentioned the cockpit parts fit. When I built mine I removed the sides of the floorboards so that you can see down to the wing area as on the original. Perhaps that will help with any fit issues you might be having. As I remember the floor interferes with the sidewall detail."

Scott, you're true! So, I've modified the floorboards... Thank you, mate!

Today, I've paintbrushed the instruments on the interior of the fuselage - Strange to note that Eduard gives grey color on a side and green on the other - But OK, let's go...
Then, assembly of the instrument panels and finally, red leather where needed for...

Post by: Second Air Force on July 18, 2012, 11:42:39 PM: When I was researching these early I-16s I saw both reference to grey and green. No real clarification could be given so I am happy with however you build it!

Title: Re: Eduard 1/48 I-16 Type 10 Over Spain Dual Combo (Limited edition)
Post by: No.1 on July 25, 2012, 12:29:55 PM: From my point of view pastels are best material for weathering! No matter of manufacturer, long time ago I work with womens make up and results was great!!!

Title: Re: Eduard 1/48 I-16 Type 10 Over Spain Dual Combo (Limited edition)
Post by: draken35 on July 26, 2012, 04:58:59 PM: Yes I like to use pastels too... :)

Anyway, yesterday I had lot of reflexions: how to assemble the seat and cockpit interior with the addition of the seatbelts?
The best way I have found is the following: the lateral seatbelts were glued on the seat itself; the other seatbelts were glued to the backseat. The seatbelts were positioned so I had no problem to assemble seat + backseat; then I glued definitively all the seatbelts.

After that I assembled the half fuselages, glued the cockpit interior and the instrument panel (a pitty: you see practically nothing of that panel... :( ) and then the fuselage to the wings. Fitting was not really good, I had lot of problems and nerviously it wasn't easy...

Today I glued other elements to the wings/fuselage. Lot of sanding is needed, and putty also...
Title: Re: Eduard 1/48 I-16 Type 10 Over Spain Dual Combo (Limited edition)
Post by: Second Air Force on July 26, 2012, 11:44:54 PM: Yes, the instrument panel really does become hidden when assembled. These are really looking excellent!

One saving grace with the wing to fuselage fit is that the original had a rather rough surface in that area also. I spent a good amount of time examining one of the I-16s here in the States and it wasn't the most aerodynamic finish ever constructed.....

Post by: draken35 on August 06, 2012, 08:48:45 PM: I've applied a mix of putty & aceton. To be noted that during the sanding phase, I've accidentally sanded the position light... There are back again, thanks to 3d paint for tissues...

...Hard work, because any mistake should have been catastrophic - But I was successful! The visor will be made with Evergreen.

...Well, both are finished now!

The metal ring over the engine cover is painted with "Agama Metal". It was the first time I used that kind of product on a kit; I must say that using the right technique, that gives stunning result!!!
First, Tamiya tape to isolate the "ring" to be painted from the rest of the engine cover. Then, with a piece of sponge (maintained with tweezers), I've applied the "Steel" metal from Agama. You let dry a few minutes only, then with a Q-tip you lustrate the metal that becomes brilliant with a real metal effect!

The placement of the landing gears was undoubtfully the most difficult stage of that build... With my shaking hands, it was a hard job but with tenacity, I was finally successful.

Well, nice kits. But funny to say that if the "Nationalist" was a pleasure to build, the "Republican" (same mold!!!) was less easy to build: parts broken, fitting not so good than the other... Strange... "Bizarre... Vous avez dit bizarre? Comme c'est bizarre..." (like the famous dialog in an old French film between Louis Jouvet and Michel Simon)

Now, going to other projects...
