I think there is no point to carry the bomb rack around if you will use this plane as a heavy fighter. The 81C is best known for fighting heavy bombers over Romania, not dive bombing.

So I suggest removing the bomb rack 'temporarily' and when you attach a bomb to it, the bomb rack can stay.
Team D did a good job with the I-16 summer and winter type.
When you select summer you get the plane on wheels - when you select Winter you get it with Skis -

So, I say do some remodeling on this plane, but the default should be with no rack. [period]

PS:

Show me one single photo of IAR-81C, engaging B24s over Ploiesti while carrying a bomb rack around ...and I'll buy you a bottle of best romanian red wine ~
