The skins of all spanish I-16 (type 5, 10, 10wc and UTI-4) are totally incorrect.
I do, appreciate *very* much any contribution (including this one I am very interested in SCW and recognize I don't know enough)...
What you see quoted, though.... I mean, don't take me wrong, but unless I put up pink skins for I-16 there is no such thing as "totally incorrect".
It is more usefull to me if you point out specific aspects of specific skins with also the data showing me how it would look more close to the real deal.
Providing a set of skins is always appreciated (downloading right now ), but it doesn't really let me know WHICH specific aspects are really out of line and not JUST a matter of personal opinion or debate.
For example, AlanOwar pointed out that mottled camo for I-16 was result of postwar repaints for movies, and showed photos accordingly (thus we ruled them out). That way I learn. I wish something of that sort together with the skins you nicely shared
Sorry, my english is too bad....
These are the correct colors:
Ok, if many skins authors may be it's not too late and this helps...
Yes, these are directly scanned from some original pieces. Specially green is from a fabric piece perfectly preserved (I had in my hand it, and it's awesome, like painted yesterday). May be scaning is not the best way to get the color but the chip is Ok with the color and quite well match.

About the "totally incorrect" skins (maybe should have used another expression):
Type 5:The lower is too white, should be blue.
Type 10 & UTI-4:This skin is the personal plane of the head of the "7ª Escuadrilla del Grupo 21", was a unique aircraft, there were no other aircraft with the same scheme.
Type 10 W. Cyclone:I've never seen a picture of an I-16 with that scheme, it is very strange .... but one thing is clear, that scheme is not "generic" scheme.
Except a few exceptions, all I-16 W.Cyclone operated in the "4ª Escuadrilla del Grupo 21", so the right thing is to use the generic skin of 4ª Escuadrilla.
Here are some pictures of airplanes with the same generic scheme of the skins-pack I've put in my previous message:
Type 5:Type 10:Type 10 W. Cyclone:UTI-4:
