Polikarpov I-153

This Soviet interwar/WWII aircraft was a development of the I-15 which added retractable undercarriage. It was replaced in service by the monoplane I-16, but there were still plenty flying in the Winter War of ’39-40 and even into the early days of Operation Barbarossa in ’41.

This is a 1:144 scale model intended for wargaming rather than display. It thus has no detail on the under-surfaces, but it does include a socket for a flight stand.
