ICM 48096 1/48 I-153 Chaika Winter Camouflage Kit  [ICM-48096]

ICM 48096 - I-153 1/48 Winter Camouflage Model

This ICM 48096 kit recreates the I-153 biplane that served the Soviet air force in World War II. Valued for its nimble handling and robust design, the I-153 is presented here in its winter paint scheme to give modellers a realistic and period accurate subject.

Origins and Authenticity

The I-153, nicknamed Chaika for its gull wings, was an important late 1930s Soviet fighter that saw action into the early 1940s. This kit reflects the winter camouflage used on the Eastern Front and aims to deliver a faithful representation for historians and collectors alike.

Assembly and Finish

Constructing the ICM 48096 is a satisfying project for modellers with some kit experience. The biplane's parts need careful fitting and painting to capture the fine structural detail. Once finished, the model makes a compelling display piece reflecting both build skill and historical interest.
