I-16 Type 29 - WWII Soviet Fighter Plane

The ICM I-16 Type 29 1:32 WWII Soviet Fighter Plane (HC-ICM32003) is a detailed plastic model kit depicting the later I-16 variant developed by the N.N. Polikarpov Design Bureau. One of the first monoplane fighters with retractable landing gear, the I-16 first flew on 30 December 1934. The Type 29, fitted with the M-63 engine and a reinforced chassis, was produced from 1940 to 1941 with around 650 aircraft built. I-16 fighters formed the backbone of Soviet fighter aviation in the summer of 1941 and fought across the Soviet–German Front until mid-1943.

This large 1:32 scale kit captures the I-16’s compact lines and cockpit detail, supported by high-accuracy sprues and clear assembly guidance. With four marking options included, it offers a rewarding build and authentic display finish for dedicated WWII aircraft modellers.
