Questions about this item

How do I attach the 1/72 Polikarpov I-16 to its display stand without stressing the landing gear?

Place the model on a flat surface, locate the recessed mounting hole on the underside of the fuselage, and lower the stand pin straight into it; avoid pushing on the wheels or struts.

Will the paint or decals on this diecast I-16 fade if I keep it on a shelf near a window?

The factory finish is not UV-rated; prolonged direct sunlight will gradually fade colours and markings, so display it away from strong light or behind UV-filtering glass.

At what point does the 3.25-inch fuselage become too fragile to handle regularly during dusting?

The diecast metal body is robust, but thin plastic details such as antennas, pitot tube and panel-line ridges can snap if brushed roughly; use a soft brush and support the fuselage, not the protrusions.
