Title: Polikarpov I-153 Walkaround Post by: John Thompson on January 12, 2009, 02:46:59 AM A post by Michael Naradkov I read on the Scalemodels.ru forum suggests that a walkaround of the I-153 will soon be added, with photographs of the Paris Musee de l'Air's real "Chaika", not the New Zealand aircraft. Something to look forward to!

I've seen that plane with my own eyes at Bourget, many years ago. I've some photos of it, unfortunately rather ugly.

I thought it should be listed on this page: http://scalemodels.ru/modules/photo/viewcat_cid_130.html ...but I don't see it there, or at least, not where it should be, near the I-16 and I-152 in the list. John Title: Re: Polikarpov I-153 Walk-around Post by: Dark Green Man on January 13, 2009, 06:12:11 PM Thanks , John. however I was referring to the link about the discussion for the I-153. not the link to the walk-around section-obviously it has not been added yet. (but we should remember that link for when it does) :) Title: Re: Polikarpov I-153 Walkaround Post by: John Thompson on April 20, 2009, 10:35:41 PM Here is the Scalemodels.ru I-153 walkaround at last, thanks to bonifaz:

(http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/3830/20088036.jpg) (http://www.postimage.org/) I *think* it's originally from a book by Mikhail Maslov, but I could be wrong. Anyway, it would be very useful for anyone modelling a non-camouflaged I-153. Now if we just had a really good new 1/72 kit from someone like ICM... ;) John Title: Re: Polikarpov I-153 Walkaround Post by: Massimo Tessitori on September 16, 2009, 07:38:05 PM Hi, :)
the grey color should extend to the metallic parts of wings and landing gear too. Massimo |
