ICM 72012 Scale model kit aircraft 1:72 I-15bis WWII Soviet fighter models kits

Polikarpov I-15bis is a 1/72 scale plastic model kit by ICM representing a Soviet biplane fighter aircraft used during the late 1930s and early years of World War II. The I-15bis was an improved development of the earlier Polikarpov I-15 series and served with Soviet fighter units in several early wartime operations.

The aircraft featured a distinctive biplane configuration with a radial engine and open cockpit typical of fighter designs from the interwar period. Despite the rapid development of monoplane fighters, the I-15bis continued to serve in various roles including air defense and ground support during the early stage of the conflict.

Polikarpov I-15bis - Soviet Biplane Fighter

The I-15bis represented the final production version of the I-15 family and incorporated structural refinements and equipment improvements compared with earlier variants. Aircraft of this type were operated by Soviet aviation units during the initial phase of World War II.

For modelers: Biplane aircraft require careful alignment of the upper and lower wings during assembly. Dry-fitting the wing struts before final gluing helps maintain the correct geometry of the aircraft structure.
