Unboxing the ICM I-16 Type 28 | 1/48 Scale

Get an up-close look at the ICM I-16 type 28 model kit. This walkthrough covers the instruction manual and decal sheet details. Building a 1:48 scale model requires careful planning before assembly begins. This video provides a clear overview of what comes in the ICM I-16 type 28 box, helping you decide if this kit fits your next project. We examine the specific decal sheet included and look at the instruction manual to identify potential assembly challenges. The Polikarpov I 16 was the first low wing cantilever monoplane with retractable landing gear, introduced in the mid 1930's, and took part in action in the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Battle of Khalkhin Gol, the Winter War, and the Spanish Civil War, and formed the backbone of the Soviet Air Force at the beginning of World War II. The Type 28 was one of the last versions, having a more powerful Shvetsov ASh-62 (a 9 cylinder air cooled radial), landing flaps replaced the ailerons, they added a tail-wheel, added a second cockpit door starboard (those are all type 24 improvements). Specific to the Type 28 was having two ShKAS 7,92 mm machine guns and two ShVAK 20 mm auto-cannon.
