The Polikarpov I-16 is an iconic Soviet single-seat fighter from the era of the Spanish Civil War, pre-war period, and the beginning of World War II (the 1930s and early 1940s). It was widely used by the USSR and the Spanish Republican Air Force. As the world's first military aircraft with retractable landing gear, it presents a challenge for modellers due to the numerous areas that require coverage during painting.

Omask plugs were created with detail-oriented modellers in mind. Their flexibility and precise fit guarantee that no part of the wheel bay will be inadvertently covered in paint. This accessory is especially recommended for intermediate and advanced modellers aiming for a professional finish, but beginners will also appreciate their ease of use. On the difficulty scale, the product is rated 1/5 – extremely easy to use.

By choosing Omask accessories for your 1/48 scale project, you invest in precision, convenience, and an excellent finish. This is an indispensable element of every historical aviation and scale modelling enthusiast's workbench.
