ICM 48096 - I-153 1/48 Winter Livery Replica

The ICM 48096 model brings the Soviet I-153 biplane to scale, showcasing the type that flew over the Eastern Front. Its winter camouflage is replicated to give modellers an authentic representation of the Chaika during colder campaigns.

Background and Accuracy

The gull-wing I-153 earned the Chaika nickname and was a common Soviet fighter from the late 1930s through the early 1940s. This kit focuses on the winter paint scheme and structural details that reflect the aircraft's wartime adaptations and service history.
