1/32 I-16 type 10, WWII Soviet Fighter
ICM 1/32 I-16 type 10 is a plastic kit of the Soviet fighter aircraft. The kit has 114 parts and markings for four aircraft from the Khalkhin Gol fighting of 1939 and the summer of 1941. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
Designed by the N. N. Polikarpov bureau, the I-16 was one of the first monoplane fighters with a retractable undercarriage; it first flew on 30 December 1934. The type 10, armed with four machine guns and powered by the M-25 engine, was built in 1937–1939, fought at Khalkhin Gol and in the Winter War against Finland, and in the summer of 1941 formed, together with other versions, the backbone of the Soviet fighter force.
According to the manufacturer, the ICM kit in 1/32 scale has 114 parts; the model is 192 mm long with a 282 mm wingspan. The decals cover four aircraft: two of the 70th Fighter Regiment at Khalkhin Gol in July 1939, one of them flown by V. G. Rakhov, plus one each from the 122nd Regiment on the Western Front and the 145th Regiment in the Murmansk region, both summer 1941.
The large scale shows off the compact fighter’s details clearly without taking up much shelf space. Four marking options allow either a pre-war or a wartime look. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
