Re: Red cowlings on I-16?
In fact I am planning to built a model of the I-16 "Outlined 5" from the first pic (Any additional pics of this a/c would be welcome, of course!). The light coloured cowlings are just an observation I made during photo research. If I recall correctly, I only saw this cowling phenomenon on I-16s from what I think is always the same unit (Red fin tip with thin white line + small number on rudder, which is either white, red outlined white, or outlined only. Did I mention that unit ID's of the VVS lack proper research?). This is also the reason why I thought the light coloured cowling might be a special feature of this unknown unit in the first place..
Where I might find this article you mentioned? Cheers, Christian |
