ICM 72053 1/72 Scale Reproduction of the I-5 Biplane

The ICM 72053 kit represents the early 1930s I-5 fighter in compact 1/72 form, faithfully capturing the aircrafts silhouette and structural detail. The parts layout supports accurate assembly and lets builders recreate the biplanes characteristic features.
