ICM 48096 - Scale Model of the I-153 in Winter Finish

The ICM 48096 kit represents the Soviet I-153 biplane, capturing its role during early World War II. This winter version reproduces the cold-weather paintwork and gives hobbyists a historically grounded subject to build.

Context and Visual Accuracy

Often called Chaika for its distinctive wing form, the I-153 was active from the late 1930s and into wartime service. The model reflects the winter camouflage applied during operations on snowy fronts and preserves key surface details for authenticity.

Construction and Presentation

Building the ICM 48096 requires steady hands and care with small assemblies. With precise painting and finishing, the completed model makes an attractive display that demonstrates both historical interest and modelling skill.

Specifications

The kit is more suited to modellers with some experience due to small parts and the need for accurate painting and fit of the biplane structure.
Use wartime photographs and scale paint guides specific to the I-153 winter schemes for colour matching. Masking and light weathering will help recreate the period look.
Yes, the model works well alongside other 1/48 Soviet types and can form part of a larger collection or a themed diorama featuring Eastern Front operations.
