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

The ICM 48095 reproduces the Soviet I-153 in 1/48 scale, delivering clean parts and period-accurate shapes for modellers who enjoy historic subjects. Its compact form makes it an interesting build with rewarding surface detail.

Background and Visual Accuracy

The Polikarpov I-153 was notable for its gull upper wing and nimble handling in early WWII clashes. This kit reflects those visual cues so modellers can recreate authentic wartime markings and finishes.

Construction Notes

Careful work on the wing stagger, strut positioning and rigging is necessary to achieve an accurate final appearance. The kit fits well with a focus on dry fitting before gluing and gentle sanding of seams.

Presentation and Display Ideas

When painted and decalled the finished 1/48 I-153 looks at home on a shelf or as part of a larger diorama. Simple basework or a cockpit vignette helps show off the model at eye level.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48

With careful construction, fine paintwork and neat rigging, the ICM 48095 can reach display standards suitable for local club shows or online competitions.
Standard enamel or acrylic aircraft paints cover the scheme well. Match reference photos and use masking for crisp national markings and camouflage edges.
Seal rigging with a tiny dab of clear varnish or PVA at anchor points to prevent slippage, and avoid heavy handling once the model is complete.
