Historical Information – Polikarpov I-16

The Polikarpov I-16 was a Soviet single-engine fighter aircraft intensively used during World War II, as well as in earlier conflicts such as the Spanish Civil War and the Sino-Japanese War. Production began in the 1930s, and the aircraft served from the mid-1930s to the early years of World War II. Operated by the USSR and its allies, the I-16 became famous as the first fighter with retractable landing gear and broke many existing design conventions of its time.

The I-16's wheels, like the entire airframe, were considered advanced for their time. Accurate reproduction of these wheels is a detail that will attract the attention of any historical aviation enthusiast.
