After a long time, the pair is back in the bench. Applied dark geeen in the upper surfaces, light blue in the lower. Now "a bit" of masking to add the red bands

Masking removed, a few touches to fix a bit of green taken by the masking tape and to repair a bit of red overspray. Starting to look like I wanted it

I did not like the colours of the decal for the tail, so I printed one at home.

Replaced axles of the props with metal. I drilled through the centre of the propeller. I need to add some metal tubing there, to simulate the detail I see I the real size planes

replacement landing gear. i did not want to use the plastic one, too weak. metal tubing in two sizes, and one thin cable to make it more interesting

It can not be seen in this picture, but the struts are not correctly placed.... pity, but i like the landing gear as it is, so as it is will remain.

I am absolutely speechless here... I was going to start assembly of the GeeBees in 1/144th scale... but maybe when I will grow more confident... 😉

thanks Robert and Sebastian
@Robert, at the end you finished the (beautiful) GeeBees far sooner than I finished the I-16's 😉

Greg Baker
oh... Now those are little gems! Now all they need is a tiny DC motor inside. 🙂

You did such a great job on the details, I look at the one on my shelf with pity and remorse. 😉

Thanks Rui, and thanks Greg, you are too kind. But Greg, pity and remorse? Why? you have one of the most fantastic model collections in SCM. I am the one with remosmrse when I see my empty display cabinet....
Motor, that is a possibility I have though sometimes. I will certainly ask u about it when I do it
