Polikarpov I-16 Type 24

This 1:48 scale model depicts the legendary Polikarpov I-16 Type 24, one of the most innovative single-seat fighters of World War II and a proud symbol of Soviet aviation.

Designed in the 1930s, the I-16 was among the first aircraft with a retractable landing gear, low-wing configuration, and enclosed cockpit, marking a major leap beyond biplane design.

The fuselage features finely engraved panel lines, a detailed radial engine, three-blade propeller, and realistic landing gear with aerodynamic fairings.

The cockpit includes full instrumentation, accurate pilot seat, control levers, rudder pedals, and a clear, shaped windscreen.

Optional parts allow assembly of fighter or reconnaissance variants, with ShKAS 7.62 mm machine guns, auxiliary fuel tanks, and high-quality decals for Soviet Air Force and Spanish Republican versions.

This Limited Edition provides enhanced detailing and refined surface finishes faithful to the original restored aircraft.

A must-have kit for enthusiasts of historic aviation, 1930s engineering, and the timeless spirit of Soviet aeronautical design.
