Oh now come along Qpassa that 'thing'ain't no beautiful aircraft,it is a bloody eye sore of the highest order!.........the Spitfire,now that is a beautiful aircraft,it's sleek,has slender lines,it's looks like a thorough bred,the Bf109 is a beautiful aircraft it again has superb lines and is a pleasure to the eye.

The aerodynamics of this aircraft must be non existent,just look at the shape of the thing,it's terrible!,no surprise then that it did'nt go down in the history books as an outstanding fighter of WW2.Just imagine being a Nazi pilot during the battle of Moscow and coming across that thing in combat,you must have thought it was your lucky day,lol.

That thing,I can't even call it an aircraft,is an abomination,it's damn right hideous,and one can only draw to a conclusion that it was an after thought after one too many vodkas...........yes,I don't like it,sorry if this will upset someone.

When introduced, in 1933, the I-16 was the most modern fighter on the planet.

Mmm..........and in 1912 the Titanic was said to be the best ship on the planet,some said unsinkable,unfortunatley,they were wrong

@ Meaks - First cantilever monoplane with retractable undercart in service anywhere in the world at the time - is true though.

I think it's a gorgeously pugnacious looking thing also. I have a 1/48th scale I-16 next to my desk right now. Been placed in a few competitions with it too!
