Print Scale 32-016 Decal Polikarpov I-16 Part 2 The complete set 2 leaf Scale 1:32 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 32-016 waterslide decals are designed for 1:32 scale models of the Polikarpov I-16. This “Part 2” set (two decal sheets) provides a focused selection of aircraft codes, numbers, and national insignia for several I-16 variants, with options spanning the late 1930s through the mid-1940s.

The I-16 was a compact single-seat fighter with multiple production variants, and its external markings varied widely between operators and time periods. This sheet emphasizes visually distinctive identifiers—such as large side numbers, rudder markings, and national insignia—so a finished 1:32 model can be tied to a specific documented subject without adding excessive aftermarket detail.

For modelers, the set is useful when you want to build different I-16 variant projects from one family (Type 5, Type 6, Type 10, and later-related variants noted in the instructions). Because several elements are large and highly visible on the fuselage and tail, accurate positioning and a smooth paint finish are recommended before decal application.

FAQ

How many aircraft marking options are included in this set?

The instructions show 8 aircraft marking options (No. 1–8), each with a distinct subject and placement guide.

Which I-16 variants are represented on the instruction profiles?

The options include Type 5, Type 6, Type 10, and additional variant notes (Type 18 / Type 26 / Type 29) depending on the selected subject.

Is this a single sheet or a multi-sheet set?

This “Part 2” release is presented as a two-sheet decal set, combining aircraft-specific identifiers and national insignia for the included options.

Do I need a specific 1:32 I-16 kit brand?

No. The set is marked as universal for compatible 1:32 I-16 kits. Match your kit variant details (for example Type 5 vs Type 10) to the chosen option before application.

What helps with placement accuracy at 1:32 scale?

Using a smooth gloss finish under the decals helps alignment and reduces silvering risk. After the decals dry fully, a clear coat can be applied to unify the surface finish.
