RESKIT RS72-0241 I-16 wheels set 1/72 – Resin wheel set for Polikarpov I-16 fighter

RESKIT RS72-0241 I-16 wheels set 1/72 is a high-quality resin detail-up set dedicated to Polikarpov I-16 model aircraft in 1:72 scale. This product is designed primarily for modelers who wish to enhance the detail and realism of their miniatures. The set fits perfectly with models from renowned manufacturers such as ICM and A-model, but can also be adapted to other replicas made in this popular scale.

The Polikarpov I-16 was a Soviet monoplane fighter from the interwar period and the early stages of World War II. It entered active service as early as the mid-1930s and was widely used during the Spanish Civil War, the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Winter War with Finland, and the initial phase of World War II by the Soviet Union. This aircraft was the world's first all-metal, monocoque fighter with retractable landing gear and contributed significantly to the development of military aviation.

The set includes precisely cast main wheels for the Polikarpov I-16, characterized by a high level of tread replication, detailed wheel hubs, and faithfully rendered features of the tires used on this aircraft. The latest generation polyurethane resin was used in the production, which allows for much greater detail compared to the standard plastic parts included in base kits. The material is durable, easy to work with, and compatible with the majority of modeling adhesives.
