About the I-16 Type 5 (Early Version)

The Polikarpov I-16 was a revolutionary Soviet fighter aircraft that became one of the first low-wing cantilever monoplanes with retractable landing gear to enter service. The Type 5 variant represented a significant improvement over earlier models, featuring enhanced armament and performance. The early version captured in this kit represents the aircraft as it first entered service, before later modifications were introduced. These early I-16 Type 5 fighters saw their combat debut in the Spanish Civil War, where they proved superior to most opposing aircraft and established the I-16's reputation as a formidable fighter.
