The box shows a type 24, but the CAD pictures are of a cannon armed type 28...

Hi Andy and Maurizio

Great news. I imagine this is just the start of an extended series of I-16s, so the CAD views will tally in due course. I'll definitely be buying a few of these.

All the best

I'm afraid that in terms of accuracy it'll be in the same league that their I-153 .
