Hobbycraft 1/48 Polikarpov I 16 type 18

[BradG]

The Hobbycraft kits are getting pretty old now, first being issued in 1992. They build up reasonably well, the only real problem is they lack the cut out in the main gear doors to allow the gear leg to pass through it. You need to make this cut yourself, I chose to simply remove the offending gear doors, call it removed for mud build up. Decals are thick, but the colour is good, I ruined the number on the tail myself to scrounged one from the spares box.
