The Polikarpov I-16 was one of the most distinctive fighters of the 1930s.

By the time of the Type 17 version, the aircraft had received improved armament and equipment while continuing to serve with Soviet fighter units.

Polikarpov I-16 Type 17 – Soviet World War II Fighter Aircraft

The I-16 saw extensive use during the late 1930s and the early years of World War II. Despite its compact size, the aircraft was capable of strong maneuverability and became one of the main fighters of the Soviet Air Forces during the pre-war period. Various subtypes were developed, each incorporating changes to armament and equipment.

For modelers: the large 1/32 scale allows careful work on cockpit details, canopy framing, and landing gear components. The compact airframe and distinctive radial engine cowling give the aircraft a recognizable appearance when finished.
