About product

The real subject

The Polikarpov I-153 was a Soviet fighter biplane, recognizable at a glance by its cranked upper wing and by the retractable landing gear that set it apart from older biplanes. It was still going into combat at the start of the German attack on the Soviet Union, when it already lagged behind modern monoplanes, yet Soviet airmen, known at the time as Stalin's Falcons, managed to make their mark with it.

What the sheet offers

The sheet brings markings for a model of this aircraft in 1:72 scale. You use it on an ordinary plastic I-153 kit, because the decals are tied to the surfaces of the fuselage and the wings rather than to the shape of particular parts. The extent of the sheet and the number of variants is given in the manufacturer's instructions, which you should also follow for the placing.

How to work with the decals

Coat the area under the decal with gloss varnish, otherwise small bubbles form under the film and the edges lighten. Before you soak the sheet, check in the instructions whether it is a self-adhesive version: a self-adhesive film that has been soaked is ruined, whereas a wet decal that has not been soaked can be soaked later. With the wet version, dip the element in lukewarm water for a moment, let it stand on the paper and settle it in place once it has slid off the backing.

  • on a biplane apply the decals before you fit the struts and the wires
  • blot the excess water off with a soft cloth; do not press on the film
  • with the wet version a decal softener helps the decal settle into unevenness
  • once it has dried, go over the area with matte varnish

What is not in the box

The aircraft model, the paints, the varnishes and the decal softener are not included in the delivery, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The decals are tied to the surfaces of the fuselage and the wings, so you use them on an ordinary I-153 model in 1:72 scale.

With sheets of this kind the wet version is the usual one, but check it in the instructions before you soak the sheet. A self-adhesive film that has been soaked is ruined beyond repair.

On a biplane, before the struts and wires are fitted, while the surfaces are easy to reach. Coat the surface with gloss varnish beforehand.

It was a biplane with a cranked upper wing and with retractable landing gear, which was not usual on biplanes.
