Polikarpov I-16 Type 18 (Eduard 1/48 scale WW2 Soviet model aircraft) - Weekend Edition
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 фев 2023
- Full build, painting, and weathering of the Eduard 1/48 scale model of the WW2 Soviet Polikarpov I-16 Type 18. The Polikarpov I-16 was a squat-looking fighter that saw action in several conflicts across the globe including on the Eastern Front during World War 2. At this time it's primary opponent would be the Bf 109.
This Weekend Edition of Eduard's model kit includes no photo etch and a simplified parts breakdown. Despite this it still builds into an interesting model with a good level of detail. Materials used the complete the model include Tamiya glue and paint, AK Real Colors paint, Vallejo Model Color and Metal Color paints, and Abteilung oil paints.

Oh that kit is nice! Superb job mate 😍
Thank you mate!
@Model Nerd have you tried SMS paints by chance? I've used AK real colours but I've actually found SMS better 🤔
The weathering and paint finish look really interesting. Great result.
Thanks mate - I'm glad you liked it and I appreciate the feedback
@@ModelNerd I think you could justifiably have gone more aggressive on both dirt and chipping as the Soviets weren't big on keeping planes pretty so much as functional due to shortages of everything. The examples in museums have been spiffed up for display.
Still, your kit, your choice.
Shame about the windscreen. I've tried to carve bucks out of wood and use them to mold new ones out of thin clear sheet plastic but with little success. There has to be a way.
building it now and enjoying it other than all the tiny bits lol love your resource helps immensely Cheers
Nice - have fun!
Looks brilliant, I must admit soviet ww2 aircraft is a blind spot of mine don't know much about them
Thanks Calum. Yes, I'm the same to be honest.
It is such an unusual bit iconic aircraft of WW2 which, although outdated by 1942, was still used throughout the conflict and built in large numbers. Excellent job MN, really think the camo scheme and weathering hit the mark. You definitely made an effort with mucking this plane a bit more than usual (evident on Russian aircraft in photos from that time period). Glad to hear that you're back onto the Spitfire....will be great to see that in future episodes.
Thanks Robbo. Yes, I was pleasabtly surprised with this one. Now to get that Spitfire to the finishing line....
Such a squat little aircraft. Very cool sir! Another nice build!
Thanks T.J!
El avión de la República española ❤
Sweet model and paintjob! Now I'm tempted to get those AK real-colors haha, although I can probably repaint my house with all the other stashed model paints 🤓
Thanks! Hehe, yeah, I know what you mean...I tried a few different brands and have a lot of random acrylics (usually different shades of green and brown!) stashed in a drawer.
Great job ! But you forget to paint canopy frame.
Yes, I noticed that after uploading the video. Oops!
Good work as always ,I've used the blu tack trick myself. The box I thought was cheap looking but the model was quite nice. Got a couple of egg planes fun builds.
Thanks Steve. Yes, one of their older style boxes, I think
Looks great, hope the stitches heal quickly!
Thanks Ron, I appreciate that
Nice build 👍
Thank you Dave!
Nice work sirrrrrrrrrr. 👏
Thank you Darrell
Im finding that when i do pin washes the enamel thinner that i use to clean up sometimes goes thru the glosscote and looks really crappy, am i doing anything wrong?
If it dissolves the gloss coat, it may depend on what gloss coat you are using. But I'd also recommend keeping the amount of enamel thinner on the brush to an absolute minimum (dab it off on a piece of paper) and try to avoid scrubbing the surface too hard.
@@ModelNerd thanks, I use the Tamiya brand glosscote and usually apply 3 light coats. I was told to cover the areas I wanted to pin wash with thinner then apply the wash so it flows better. But yea I think I'll try less thinner and see what happens. This is the exact same model I just finished btw
*It's a shame from Eduard not to provide a better windshield, but whatever your "Rata" is wonderful!*
Thanks :)
This looks very good but just a thought, wouldn't it be weathered also more on the fuselage and not just the panel line areas?? I am building the Kirbri Bonn station kit and was using your panel line technique but the wash just didn't want to flow in the platform tile gaps. So I thought hmmm I'll use weathering powders instead 🤔, it worked a treat. So you see we actually do take note of your techniques.
Hehe, thanks Guy. Did you use an oil wash or an acrylic wash? I think acrylic ones don't flow quite as well. Yes, I think you could be right about the weathering on the fuselage - I'm experimenting a bit more with different looks and techniques.
I’ve always found the bi-plane versions an interesting aircraft ,
Not sure if there available in 1/48
The channel Rex’s hanger did a great video covering the polikarpov history
Thanks, I'll check out his videos. Yes, the biplane version is cool - I think ICM might do a version but I'm not sure.
Hey sir - nice video, check out Scale Modelling Cafe who has just finish the same kit - such a cute aircraft. Nice tip about the blue tack 😂🎉cheers
Thanks - I'll check it out
🤝🎥👍
Thank you Igor
Whats happened to the spitfire? ☹️
Still going on - there's a small update at the end of this video :) The next video will be a Spitfire update.
This kit looks perfect on the sprues. Once one attempts to dry fit the body they will realize how deceptive sprues can be. Nothing fits together. Nothing. One needs to sand and fill to the point of destroying all of that appealing surface detail. Then, one realizes how little effort Eduard engineers have given to the process of aligning and fitting the small parts. This Eduard approach to scale modeling can potentially turn people away from the hobby.
I didn't have a bad experience with this: there was some filling required on the underside but nothing excessive in my experience. I think Eduard have improved since then too - this kit is a decade old
@@ModelNerd Maybe a quality control issue, since I purchased my kit in 2015…and still working on it,lol !
@@gokhanersan8561 that’s a you problem it shouldn’t take 8 years to finish a 1/48 I 16
@@liamdemay4710 Deception is a universal issue not a personal thing. Eduard marketers are all over the internet. But, you know what : I picked up the ICM version of this I-16 and it took me 15 minutes to dry fit the whole thing. Meanwhile, I am able to put the finishing touches, landing gear, etc, of the Eduard version by following ICM’s instructions. Cause Eduard instructions are, what’s the word I’m looking for…incomprehensible.
Just got my I-16 type 29 in the post an hr ago, off to the stash she goes. Still need a type 5 in Spain during spainish civil war, type 10 snd or 17 for battles of khalkhan gol/nomohan Japanese/soviet border war in August 1939. And possible another type for great patriotic war
Sounds good - I always like seeing the same aircraft or vehicle in different schemes or versions.
Hi MN, this is a very nice build but I do think it is a funny plane design. Not unlike the 'eggs' (which I can't stand). This craft seems to have a curious elegance about it. I appreciate the fact that you painted different surfaces (aluminum and canvas) with different colors to correct for this. Good Show!! I do notice the increase in weathering that you have been doing. I like it. The powders look like they can be fun to work with. It looks great. Thank you for sharing this unique build.
I agree Robbo. Not a fan of "eggs" but this really draws me in. Thanks!
It's actually pretty typical of a lot of minimalistic plane designs of its time. Look up the Gee Bee racer (it appeared in the movie Rocketeer). That looks far more like an egg plane but is quite real. The general idea was to have as large an engine as possible with just enough wing to get it airborne, just enough tail surfaces to keep it stable - ish and controllable, and just enoughn other stuff to skin it and hold it together. The result in the Gee Bee was a very fast but dangerous racer, while the Polikarpov was a tough, reliable workhorse fighter.
@@markfergerson2145 Hi Mark, thanks for the info. I see what you mean - the F4F wildcat seems to have this same stout body. I'm not an expert. I'm a fan of modeling but all the info and comments really help me to understand engineering of aircraft. Thank You.
