Title: ICM announce a new 1:48 Polikarpov I-16 Type 24 Post by: VelvetFrog66 on January 06, 2016, 03:08:56 PM Hi,
very pleased to see that ICM have announced a new tool I-16 Type 24. Hopefully this will be the best one yet. Currently dealing with the Eduard kit which has its share of problems. It's about time there was an accurate, well detailed I-16. Fingers crossed ICM will get it right. Projected release last quarter of 2016. Cheers Title: Re: ICM announce a new 1:48 Polikarpov I-16 Type 24 Post by: Massimo Tessitori on January 07, 2016, 06:28:47 AM Hi,
this is an interesting news. It was announced on their catalogue long time ago, but the delay date was a mystery. There should be a I-153 in 1/48 too that is even more due, given the few available alternatives.

didn't know this had been announced earlier. News is on Britmodeler.com. Hannants have it on their website as an up-coming release and they are usually pretty reliable with their information. The ICM 1:48 I-153 has been released. At least in Russia anyway. Have seen an inbox review which was brief but positive. Speaking of I-153s (and I-15 Bis) I see AMG have released a variety of limited edition I-15 based aircraft kits in 1:48. Haven't seen any in person but the sprue pictures look quite nice. The fabric effect looks accurate and restrained. No starved cow look. A nice photo etched fret comes with the kits too. The fret includes the rigging. Overall they look very nice. I'd like to hear what the experts on these aircraft have to say about the shapes. Cheers.

the recent release of I-153 was new for me. I've found a review at http://www.aeroscale.co.uk/modules.php?op=modload&name=Reviews&file=index&req=showcontent&id=10992 (http://www.aeroscale.co.uk/modules.php?op=modload&name=Reviews&file=index&req=showcontent&id=10992) Not surprisingly, it seems that the kit has, more or less, the praises of its 1/72 brother.
