I have to admit that I like the IXO Polikarpov I-16, but the windscreen just does not help at all. I popped the windscreen off today to see if a bit of sanding might help bring it just a bit closer to scale. Fortunately the canopy came off with some gentle tugging and I do mean gentle. I cut the two small retaining posts off with an X-Acto blade and proceeded to sand (Again gently). It only took about 5 minutes of sanding to get it close to the height I was looking for, I reattached it with white glue (Still might sand it down a little more). It is still a little to high, but looks a bit better.
