Plastic model airplane kit: I-16 Type 5 Soviet fighter 1:48 Zvezda 4832
The I-16 Type 5 is the second serial modification of the fighter designed by N.N. Polikarpov. In the modified mask with improved aerodynamics, a more powerful M-25 engine was installed, increasing the speed to 450 km/h, making the I-16 the fastest production aircraft of its time. During mass production from 1935 to 1938, over 2200 units were produced. Considering combat and operational experience, the I-16 Type 5 was modernized during production by introducing a reinforced wing, larger wheels, and an oil cooler. Due to issues with the closed cockpit, an open cockpit was introduced.
The I-16 Type 5 was widely used in the Spanish Civil War from 1936-39, in the Second Sino-Japanese War from 1937-45, in the conflict at Lake Khasan in 1938, in the conflict at Khalkhin Gol in 1939, and in the Soviet-Finnish War from 1939-40. The I-16 Type 5 participated in the Great Patriotic War until 1943, mainly as a light attack aircraft, for which its armament was strengthened with four to six installations of unguided rockets of 82 mm caliber.
