They're all outstanding but I really like that Irish I-16!

Who knew the I in I-16 stood for Irish?

Great stuff, Radish!

The Frisky is the result of Red Car Primer, washes with various diluted Games Workshop reds and a silver pencil.

Some inspiration now from the Irish Squadron Il2 website Forum....
