ICM 48095 1/48 I-153 Soviet Biplane Scale Kit  [ICM-48095]

ICM 48095 - 1/48 Scale Polikarpov I-153 Model

The ICM 48095 captures the compact profile and distinctive gull upper wing of the I-153 in 1/48 scale. This kit is built for modellers who appreciate historical subjects and detailed assembly tasks that reward careful painting and finishing.

Historical Notes and Scale Faithfulness

The Polikarpov I-153, nicknamed Chaika for its wing planform, saw service in the late 1930s and early 1940s. This model reproduces the aircrafts recognizable silhouette and key external features for a convincing small-scale replica.

Assembly Focus

Expect a mix of small parts and attention-demanding joints when building the ICM 48095. The parts are neatly molded, but getting correct rigging and strut alignment will take steady hands and careful dry fitting before glue.

Display and Integration

At 1/48 scale the finished I-153 makes an attractive standalone model or a period vignette component. Accurate paint choices and subtle weathering will enhance the biplanes sense of scale and history.
