ICM 48095 - 1/48 Polikarpov I-153 Chaika Kit

The ICM 48095 kit renders the WWII I-153 biplane at 1/48 scale with an emphasis on external detail and correct proportions. It suits modellers aiming to build a compact but historically grounded fighter from the late 1930s.

Authenticity and Scale Workmanship

This release reproduces the I-153s notable gull upper wings and compact fuselage, providing surface detail that supports authentic paint schemes and markings from period photos.

Building Strategy

Successful assembly of the ICM 48095 depends on trial fitting and steady alignment of struts and wing panels. Use clamps for setting larger joins and thin adhesive for smaller connections to preserve delicate detail.

Collector Appeal

Once finished this 1/48 model makes a neat addition to a WWII collection, especially among other interwar and early-war fighters. Accurate finishing elevates the kit from a model to a display-grade miniature.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included, recommended for realism
Build time varies with experience and finishing level, but expect multiple evenings to assemble, rig and paint to a display standard for the ICM 48095.
Aftermarket sets like photoetch or resin seats can improve cockpit fidelity, but the kit is complete enough for a strong stock build at 1/48 scale.
Start with a neutral primer, then layer base colours and apply subtle weathering to emphasize panel lines and fabric surfaces typical of the era.
