NEW KIT - POLIKARPOV I-153

Silver Wings is proud to announce our first all new kit for 2013 - the Polikarpov I-153 "Chaika" in 1:32 scale! We have listened to you, our valued customers, and are working our way through your "wish list" of kits. We hope that you will be excited as we are to welcome the I-153 to our line of high-quality 1:32 resin kits.

The Polikaprov I-153, nicknamed "Chaika" because of the shape of its upper wing, was based on the earlier Polikarpov I-15 and I-15(bis). The I-153, which first saw combat in 1939 during the Soviet-Japanese Battle of Khalhin Gol in Mongolia, was one of the standard fighters of the Soviet Airforce (VVS) during the late 1930's and the beginning of World War II.

We are pleased to offer this exciting new kit in two colorful options, with decals for:

Soviet Union: Soviet Air Force, 71st Fighter Regiment Red Banner Baltic Fleet, Summer 1942
Finland: Finnish Air Force, 3/LeLv 6 Römpötti, Karelian Isthmus, July 1942

Projected availability date – 1st April 2013
