Nice, but some screens must be historically corrected... To be constructive:
-No rockets should be on I-15 and I-16...
-No Type 24 with Shvak. Type 18 looks externally very similar to Type 10 used here as "SuperMosca". But no radios on board except in a very rare case, and it was a receipt only radio.
-Chaikas should be flown with landing gear downed to match as possible the I-15, so Chaikas never flown in SCW.
-The "No tocar" (and not "No tocan") skin is taken from a picture where the plane was on the ground and "No tocar" ("Do not touch") was written on oone of the sides to avoid unauthorised ground personnel touch it.
-I think that Fiat G-50 was never captured by republicans.
-There is a mod converting CR-42 into CR-32, better depict that mod.
-I feel some SB-2M-100A missing!
-Never seen the cross marking on real captured or reconstructed I-15 on post-war...
-There were no mirrors on SCW Emils!
In general, there are lots of SCW skins. Some of them has been based on wrong profiles and it's very hard to say if a skin is correct or not. It's better to ignore profiles since more of them are wrong (about 50%), and center on real pictures for skin work.
But there also a minor percentage of fake pictures. One of the most famous is the I-16 CM-193 on flight. In fact, that's a russian Type 17...
Other known fact is the I-15 CA-125. Its numbers were not white. They were black... and so on.
Be careful on the fonts!
Much of this investigation has been done yet. I've got so many SCW skins on my folders that I don't know where to upload it.
I recommend you this spanish forum:
http://www.network54.com/Forum/394728/
Half of the members are real SCW historicians, authors of boooks that took years of investigation. The other half are modellers that also are investigating for more exactly painting their planes. Virtual skin modellers has just arrived to that forum.
There are people that know exact colours, markings, models in service, war actions... everything about SCW and post war planes, no matter how rare are them. All the info is out there...
