AdrianMF Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 This is the ICM kit built pretty much OOB, apart from adding seat belts and replacing the small parts that I either lost or broke with my sausage-fingers: A lovely kit, albeit one that had me thinking I might have to change to 1/12 scale! Thanks for looking, Adrian 39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatW Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Superb finish! I build the WW2 versions of the Polikarpov as I can't imagine trying to wire a bi-plane! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It disappeared the moment that I finished cutting it off the sprue! 1 hour ago, PatW said: I build the WW2 versions of the Polikarpov as I can't imagine trying to wire a bi-plane! It was one of the easier ones that I’ve done. I added the struts but not the top wing, then used EZLine and dots of superglue. If you dip the EZLine in superglue accelerator and just touch the end to the dot, it sets in a few seconds. Then I added the wing and I only had the wires between the upper and lower ailerons to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k5054nz Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Beautiful work! I've always loved that scheme on the Po-2, and the slogans really add something. Plus all those bombs! He means business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Keg Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Very nice Adrian only made more impressive that it is in 1 / 72 scale. I would be admitted to the hospital after trying to rig it as flawlessly as you have. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 A superb Po-2. Only the size of the grass gives away the secret that it's not 1:48th (or 1:12th…). A feast for the miniature loving eye! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
