I like this one a lot. Those Polikarpov crafts are something else.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Same here. Those Polikarpov grows on you. I need to get a couple for my stash.
The diorama is simple and easy on the eyes. Well done!!

Very sharp looking Mosca there CL! Your usual top notch work! I’m with everyone else on how the type grows on you in appearance.

That's a beauty. Really nice base as well. I've been wanted to add one of these to the stash. I was surprised to read that they could hold their own against Bf-109s
Thanks,

Looks great. Definitely a design that you have to study a little to appreciate
Re: Academy 1/48 Polikarpov I-16 Type 18
I love Polikarpov's, that is one of my favorite subjects. Your looks magnificent!
