I-16 Type 24 with 3 Soviet Pilot Figures (1939-1942)

The ICM I-16 Type 24 in 1:32 scale (HC-ICM32007) offers a finely detailed recreation of Polikarpov’s pioneering monoplane fighter. The Type 24 variant, produced in 1939–1940 with the M-63 engine and reinforced chassis, served extensively across the Soviet–German Front. In total, 934 Type 24 aircraft were built, with I-16s remaining in front-line use until mid-1943.

This quality plastic model kit combines high accuracy with crisp detailing, including a fully rendered cockpit and undercarriage area. A four-version decal sheet and three Soviet pilot figures (two standing and one seated for the cockpit) make it well suited to both in-flight and diorama-style displays.
