The I-16 Type 5 was the second serial modification of the fighter designed by N.N. Polikarpov. During the mass production in 1935-1938, more than 2200 planes were built. Taking into account combat and operational experience, the I-16 Type 5 was improved during production, introducing a reinforced wing, larger wheels and oil radiator.
The Zvezda 1:48 I-16 Soviet WWII Fighter Plastic Model Kit would be the perfect gift for model airplane enthusiasts seeking an authentic and challenging build for their collection.
