I have the Pfalz tome (autographed!) but as the Sikorsky S.16 was an earlier
publication and from a different source than the Russian Air Service book
(Do you have this at hand, Martín?) I was curious to know.
Recently I acquired an Eastern Express Sikorsky S.16 kit , and was impressed
by the quality of the moldings and the fact that it's moulded in translucent
white plastic, which stands a chance to be "tinted" yellow like CDL with
previous shading of the structure, and that's why I'm interested on knowing
more about the innards of these machines.
