Build a detailed scale replica of the I-4 Soviet fighter, an important aircraft from the early development of Soviet military aviation. Published by Orel as kit No. 171, this impressive 1:33 scale card model offers an engaging project for aviation enthusiasts and experienced paper modellers.

The I-4, also known as the ANT-5, was a Soviet single-seat fighter developed during the 1920s under the general direction of Andrei Tupolev, with Pavel Sukhoi playing a major role in its design. Created during a period when Soviet designers were evaluating all-metal aircraft construction against traditional wooden and mixed structures, the I-4 became an important step in the development of Soviet fighter aircraft.

The finished model recreates the distinctive appearance of this early Soviet fighter and provides a rewarding build of medium complexity. The kit is printed across 18 A4 sheets and is designed in the popular 1:33 aircraft modelling scale.
