1/144 Polikarpov I-15bis, Soviet Inter-War fighter Scale 1:144 Armory Models AR14101

Polikarpov I-15bis in 1/144 scale is a plastic model kit by Armory Models representing a Soviet biplane fighter developed during the interwar period. The aircraft was an improved version of the earlier I-15 and served as a compact and maneuverable fighter used by the Soviet Union in the late 1930s.

The Polikarpov I-15bis formed part of a generation of biplane fighters that remained in service during the transitional years before the widespread adoption of monoplane combat aircraft. It featured a strengthened structure and revised wing design compared with earlier variants, and it operated with Soviet aviation units during the late interwar period and early stages of World War II.

Polikarpov I-15bis - Soviet Interwar Biplane Fighter

Designed by the Polikarpov design bureau, the I-15bis retained the maneuverability typical of biplane fighters while incorporating improvements in reliability and structural strength. Aircraft of this type served in various operational roles including air defense and training, and they appeared in several international conflicts of the late 1930s.

For modelers: Biplane aircraft models benefit from careful alignment of the upper wing and supporting struts. Many builders prefer to paint the wings and fuselage separately before final assembly to simplify handling of the strut structure and preserve alignment.
