D Bellis Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 It's unfortunately a 153, not a 152. I-152 is commonly and perhaps incorrectly used for I-15bis, different/ straight upper wing and NACA cowl. Bomb racks etc. It wasn't very successful aeroplane, in many ways a step back from I-153 And, there were only 3 actual I-152s built. Quite happy they went with the quintessential early WWII I-153 instead of the earlier I-15 or oddball prototypes. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esarmstrong Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) Just noticed that the stock numbers assigned to the Polikarpov I-16 type 24 and 28 are 32001 and 32002. The Chaika is 32010 and the Bucher 131 is 32030. I hope that these stock numbers are an indication that ICM is about to launch a major foray into 1/32 scale. We know for certain an I-16 type 29 is coming. The more the merrier... Edited April 13, 2018 by esarmstrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esarmstrong Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 32028 is the Koolhoven Fk-58, for sure We can dream... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Probably all those other skipped numbers are being saved for the series of 109's they have planned!!! LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Molitor Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Wouldn't it be cool to get a huc starter truck in 1:32 to go along with this l-153? Ha! I have the Silver Wings kit with me here in Sing but I'm interested in how ICM did the landing gear attachment points to the fuselage frame. The landing gear is skinny at best with a heavy model to support. I'm looking forward to this one along with the rest of you Gents. I'm building the I-16 now and it's a really nice kit. Hoping this one be be the same . Thanks for sharing the link! Troy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) Bu-131's been out for a while Edit: Here Edited April 14, 2018 by Martinnfb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STWilliams Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Hooray! and Damn! Hooray! because it'll be a decent kit at a competitive price of a subject that's been crying out for the IP treatment. Damn! because I have Silver Wings kit in my stash, and the value will plummet when ICM's kit gets out. So, I think I'll pop it on Ebay, use the funds to get a couple - or three - ICM kits. Last time I did that was Fly's Ar 234 came out & I sold my MDC kit, raising enough to get 2 Fly kits. ICM remind me a little of Wingnut Wings with their approach to the 1/32 WWII market, but for niche Eastern European theatre subjects. I really, really like it, and I'm looking forward to whatever they come out with next. A nice LaGG, Lavochkin or Yak? A Pe-2 or Tu-2 for a small, sleek twin-engined effort? A Po-2 would be great fun. Getting more dreamy, Do-17's were shifted Eastward, and - getting really, really widely optimistic - a BV-141 would look super-cool, as would a BV-138. A Do-217 would be hugely surprising, A Fw-189 would be top of my list, as HpH's is priced at a level that is beyond my means, or self imposed limit. A Hs-129 would fit the "Eastern Front" mantra, but there's already an IP version on the way. Please, please stay away from 190's and 109's.

STWilliams Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Just went to Hannants to pre-order, & there are 2 boxing's - Standard and Winter version. So, obviously, I've been forced to order both. They are also offering pre-orders on a Type 29 I-16, & a Bu-131B, as compared to the Bu-131D, of the current (tricky to get hold of) version.

esarmstrong Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Looks like it's out now. Can be ordered on Amazon and ebay. Good news. Would like to see some reviews/previews to see how it measures up to the other one (the I-16 type 24/28), which is a very good model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Indeed it is, just snaffled one up, review coming... Troy Molitor, Rick Griewski and Tnarg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 For whatever reason, the I-16 really doesnt do much for me, but the little I-153 is such a unique and ugly little thing, that it is really attractive to me. Will have to wait for some reviews of buildability come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
