tinleeds 156 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) Just finished another project. Polikarpov I-152 (I-15bis) from Special Hobby in 1/48 scale. Building process and more pictures you can see here: https://goo.gl/photos/EWb28Anj2Hx8CUZ77 The model is not for beginners. There were some difficulties, but overall positive experience. The result - one box became less Hope you like it Regards Ivan. Edited November 19, 2015 by tinleeds 18 Link to post Share on other sites

boom.boom 76 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Just absolutely fantastic job! Beautiful model and same like that them! And whole dio with that little touch-red star badge certainly even more making it better! You mate gave me boost for my polikarpov family. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Spitfire31 2,392 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Superb finish and weathering make that I-152 totally believable. Clever use of hairspray or salt to differentiate the metal parts from the fabric covered ones! Great modelling and set-up of the diorama! My only tiny suggestion would have been to offset the front wheels of the GAZ to impart more 'life' to it. Top marks for skills and artistry! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Learstang 3,594 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Beautiful I-15bis! Excellent little GPW diorama. I've always loved those tiny Polikarpov biplanes. Regards, Jason 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Reini78 15,761 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 you tamed the beast :-) very nice work on a not so often seen built up kit 1 Link to post Share on other sites
pivokrevnik 497 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 The kit is actually I-15bis. Contrary to popular belief, I-152 is not just a fancier synonymum for I-15bis. Actual I-152 existed only as a prototype. There was a handful of minor changes compared to regular I-15bis. The most visible change were small individual exhausts in holes around the cowling - like on I-153. Normal I-15bis had one large exhaust on each side. Not your fault of course. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

tinleeds 156 Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) Thanks to all for your comments and tips. I heard a lot of things about I-152 and I-15bis but I don't really care of it. I can call it I-15bis Thank you very much! Edited November 19, 2015 by tinleeds 1 Link to post Share on other sites
