ICM 72074 - 1/72 Scale I-153 Soviet Biplane Model

The ICM 72074 kit recreates the I-153, a nimble Soviet biplane fighter from World War II, in accurate 1/72 scale. The parts capture the aircrafts characteristic lines and make this kit a solid choice for model builders and aviation collectors.

Why This Model Matters to Hobbyists

The I-153, often called Chaika, was prized for its agility and rugged construction in wartime service. This kit focuses on authentic shape and surface detail so builders can represent the aircrafts combat-era appearance with confidence.

Assembly Notes for Modellers

Designed for builders with some kit experience, the ICM 72074 includes finely moulded components that require careful trimming and precise cementing. Parts are engineered for good alignment, reducing the need for heavy alteration or filler.

Display Potential and Shelf Impact

Finished at 1/72 scale, the I-153 makes a compact but striking display piece that fits well with other WWII aircraft models. Its classic biplane silhouette stands out on a shelf or in a diorama setting.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
Standard plastic model cement works well for the ICM 72074 parts. For finer joints, a liquid cement applied with a brush gives cleaner results.
At 1/72 scale, subtle weathering and panel shading enhance realism. Use thin coats and fine brushes or an airbrush for smooth finishes.
The kit typically includes a decal sheet for period markings, but confirm package contents before purchasing to be sure.
Expect several evenings for assembly and painting if working carefully. More detailed paintwork and weathering will extend build time.
