Massimo Tessitori Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Hi, the kit looks very well made. Only, I am doubtful for the choice of the versions offered by the decals sheet. They are not the most representative ones. The Finnish planes were beautiful, but they were very few. So, the black-green planes were ground assault ones usually armed with rockets, that are not included. The most part of I-153s were painted in a livery with grey metallic parts and silver fabric parts, with stars with a thin black circle inscribed. Other ones had improvised camouflages over this base. Other ones were green with light blue undersurfaces, or with silver/grey undersurfaces. If you need ideas for another edition or an additional decals sheet, you can find something here: http://mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/i15/i-153/i-153painting/i-153painting.htm Regards Massimo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
