Some images of the original cockpit scheme, VPMedia's updated version... and a bonus. A few pics of an I-16 taken at Midland, Tx this past September. Can't say if the interior colors of the real one honor the original colors of the aircraft or not.
Sadly the I-16 did not fly, as it had a landing gear problem. I was really hoping to get a video and/or sound recording of it.

I-16 in Texas 2 (WWHappy in foreground)
I-16 in Texas 3
No idea why the pilot had a bungee cord wrapped around the stick, other than perhaps to ensure the elevators didn't drag on the ground...
