ICM 48098 Plastic model kit Scale aircraft 1:48 WWII Soviet Fighter I-16 type 28

Polikarpov I-16 Type 28 is a 1/48 scale plastic aircraft model kit by ICM representing a late production variant of the well-known Soviet fighter aircraft used during World War II. The I-16 was one of the first monoplane fighters with retractable landing gear to enter operational service.

Designed by Nikolai Polikarpov in the 1930s, the I-16 became an important part of Soviet fighter aviation during the early years of the Second World War. The Type 28 variant represented a later development of the aircraft with improvements in armament and equipment compared with earlier versions.

Polikarpov I-16 Type 28 - Soviet World War II Fighter

This kit represents the compact and distinctive fighter used by Soviet air units during the early stages of the conflict. The aircraft’s short fuselage, rounded wings, and radial engine give it a recognizable silhouette among fighters of the period.

For modelers: The I-16 has a relatively small airframe, so careful alignment of the wings and landing gear is important to maintain the aircraft’s characteristic stance. Painting the cockpit interior before closing the fuselage can help preserve instrument and seat details.
