ICM 72013 Scale model aircraft 1:72 I-15bis WWII Soviet fighter, winter version

Polikarpov I-15bis Winter Version is a 1/72 scale plastic aircraft model kit by ICM representing the Soviet biplane fighter used during the early years of World War II. This boxing depicts the winter configuration of the aircraft used in cold-weather operations.

The I-15bis was an improved version of the Polikarpov I-15 fighter family developed in the late 1930s. These aircraft were widely used by the Soviet Air Force during the pre-war period and in the opening stages of World War II, including operations conducted in winter conditions.

Polikarpov I-15bis - Soviet World War II Biplane Fighter

The I-15bis retained the characteristic gull upper wing and open cockpit typical of late interwar biplane fighters. Aircraft of this type were deployed in various operational theaters and frequently operated from forward airfields where winter camouflage and equipment were common.

For modelers: Biplane aircraft require careful alignment of the upper wing and interplane struts. Painting the cockpit and fuselage before attaching the upper wing helps maintain clean assembly of the strut structure.
