The ICM 32001 I-16 Type 24 in 1/32 scale is a high-quality plastic assembly kit offered by the renowned ICM company. This precisely crafted model faithfully reproduces in detail one of the most famous single-seat Soviet fighters of World War II. The Polikarpov I-16 Type 24 aircraft was a true legend in aviation history—featuring unprecedented design innovation and exceptional maneuverability in the first half of the 1930s.

This fighter was mainly used in the Soviet Union, as well as exported to Spain, China, and Finland. It saw active service during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) and was then widely used by Soviet air forces during World War II (1939–1943). The I-16 Type 24 is one of the latest and most advanced versions, equipped with a more powerful M-63 engine, cannons, and improved avionics. It was famous for participating in air battles during the sieges of Leningrad and Moscow.
