Print Scale 32-015 Decal Polikarpov I-16 Part 1 The complete set 2 leaf Scale 1:32 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 32-015 Waterslide Decals provide marking elements for 1:32 scale aircraft models of the Polikarpov I-16 (Part 1). This set focuses on early-war and winter-period subjects, combining national insignia, tactical numbers, unit-style badges, and slogan-style Cyrillic inscriptions as shown in the included placement guide.

The Polikarpov I-16 was a compact Soviet single-seat fighter produced in multiple “type” variants. The options in this sheet cover several I-16 subtypes and depict aircraft associated with different units, locations, and periods from 1940 through 1942, including winter finishes and a documented captured airframe option.

For modelers, this release is suited to projects where large red stars, prominent side numbers, and fuselage inscriptions are key visual features. The set is intended for 1:32 I-16 kits and can be used with any compatible tooling; careful alignment is recommended for multi-part inscriptions and high-contrast markings.
