1/48 I-153 “Chaika”

by John Healy on March 15, 2016 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

This is the brand new ICM kit. What fun this one was! This is probably the most fool-proof biplane I've ever built. The parts are molded very nicely, it fits extremely well, has enough detail to make it look busy, and it looks like a [...]

by Frederick J Seitz III on March 3, 2016 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Not going to get in too much of a chat with this one, as I already have written about their F6F-3. Same build experience with this one. Great overall detail most of the time, and could be improved upon in others. It's an excellent [...]
