ICM 32001 - Scale I-16 Type 24 1/32 Soviet Fighter Model

The ICM 32001 kit recreates the compact I-16 Type 24, a significant Soviet fighter of the WWII era, with careful attention to scale proportions and cockpit fittings. It provides modellers with a faithful base for display or diorama work without adding aftermarket parts.

Why the I-16 Type 24 Matters

The I-16 Type 24 saw action in multiple operations on the Eastern Front and is noted for its compact design. This kit mirrors the aircrafts silhouette and control surfaces, making it a rewarding project for those focused on historical accuracy.

Modelling and Finish Options

Assembly suits modellers who enjoy a bit of challenge; precise trimming and test-fitting are encouraged, especially around the wings and undercarriage. The kit accepts paints and weathering well, letting you simulate service wear and operational finishes.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/32
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Optional for enhanced realism
This kit is best for intermediate to experienced modellers due to small parts and the need for accurate alignment. Beginners can still build it with time and basic tools.
Yes, the kit contains detailed cockpit components that allow for a convincing interior, ready for painting and detailing by the modeller.
Absolutely. The plastic surface takes washes and drybrushing well, so you can personalise paint chipping, oil stains and operational wear to suit your display goals.
Most builders will find the supplied parts adequate for an accurate model, though advanced modellers sometimes add seat belts or photo-etch items for extra realism.
