LSP_Kevin Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Just saw this on Facebook: I find it interesting that the pilot figures are more prominent on the box art than the aircraft. Kev Out2gtcha and Jan_G 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esarmstrong Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) That's because the pilots are not a feature of the original release of the type 24 I-16, but they are here. Unless the markings are different in some spectacular way from those already offered, I'll pass. I would imagine those who like crew figures with their models (not my "cup of tea") will enjoy this release.

Troy Molitor Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Hey LSP followers, I built the I-16 and the I 153 from ICM offering while in Singaporemand they were so easy to build. I can sent you photos on PM. One word of caution. The I-16 gear is super flimsy. I would highly recommend the brass aftermarket offerings. Lastly, the fuselage to main wing fairing is a major gap to properly seal. There are small posts that take up this gap into consideration and to be glued together. After handling the model over time, one of the post popped And I now have a seam issue to address after almost being finished with this build. You’ll likely not see it but I do! Big time bummer! The gear on the I-153 is totally solid in plastic. Such an easy kit to assemble. The wing to wing mounts are really designed well and you need no alinement rigging tool. A solid joint is easy to obtain. One of the easiest bi wing models to ever put together. go forth happy and hopefully you won’t glue your fingers together!

Tnarg Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Great to see the type 10 released. I wish they would do the early versions of the family like the I-15 and 152. Spanish Ratas / Moscas call my name. Tnarg wunwinglow, Fanes and esarmstrong 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince14 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) ICM make three versions of the I-153 in 1/32, but sadly at this point no I-15 or I-152. Edited June 30, 2019 by vince14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircommando130 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Thought I-16 type 24 was going to be a Japanese submarine model! LOL! Cheers...Ron Rick Griewski, D.B. Andrus and coogrfan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STWilliams Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 ICM seem to be like Fly, squeezing the last bit of money out of their moulds. It's a good strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
