Hi Everyone,

I have been looking forward to joining this forum. I am mostly an armchair modeler with a towering stash of jets and props, mostly 1/72. I took a big interest to VVS subjects about a decade ago and have a pent-up urge to build now. VVS subjects have the wild camouflage, slogans and spunk that appeals to me. Add to that the history behind the aircraft and crews, and I was hooked. The story of Soviet aviation is endlessly fascinating, and this site proves it. Best regards.

Hi TapedFingers,
welcome here. Towering kits are a common problem, but I hope you will turn some of them into completed works.
Regards

Not GluedFingers?  I guess I'm thinking of me - at any rate, welcome, indeed!  I'll do my normal spiel - there are lots of knowledgeable people here; my area of "expertise" is in Shturmoviks, so if you have any questions, please let me know!

Best Regards,

Jason

Thank you for your kind welcome. Being an extreme armchair modeler means I have no finished aircraft to show.  Here are pictures of the 1/72 ICM I-15 Bis I have in progress. When I finish, it will be the first plane I will have completed in about 25 years. At this rate, I will never topple my stacks of stash, so I better speed it up.









I plan to glue the interior soon so I can join the fuselage halves and go to the next stage. I used aluminum from a soda can for the seat back and some details.The holes in each fuselage half are for the shell ejector chutes. Enjoy the pictures.

Nice model indeed. I built that model some years ago, but I wasn't so accurate in the cockpit.
