Re: Ixo I 16 and model power's I 16

Hello,

I have Ixo's and Model Power I 16, they both have #11 painted on the tail is it twice the same plane? Same pilot?

Thanks.

I believe that both I-16's were intended to represent the same plane. According to "Flying Colors", by William Green and Gordon Swanborough, #11 was flown by Capt. Boris F. Safonov of the 72 AP of the VVS SF ( Northern Fleet Air Force ) in the Murmansk region during the summer of 1941.
