Re: Construction Numbers of I-16s?
I am still mystified at the logo.
could it be a factory logo? or quality-control ?
the rails for the sliding canopy can be seen but this plane has a fixed windscreen. (with unpainted framing)
although the telescopic gun-sight is not visible it appears that the forward mount(s?) have been modified with a ring sight. this is consistent with the reflector gun-sight.
I'll have to examine the photo a little more to be sure of the exact colors used. (if you are interested)
