About product

The real subject

The Polikarpov I-153 with the nickname Chaika, meaning gull, is a Soviet single-seat fighter biplane of the end of the 1930s. You can tell it by the upper wing cranked into the shape of gull wings, which gave it its nickname, and by the retractable landing gear, which was unusual on a biplane of the time. The powerplant was an air-cooled radial engine, and its exhausts emerge around the circumference of the engine cowling, that is at the most looked-at place on a finished model.

What the set contains

The set brings replacement exhausts for a model of the I-153 in 1:48 scale. They replace the kit parts, which tend to be blanked off or merely suggested, and offer open mouths as well as finer outlines to the walls. It is the exchange of a single detail, so it does not rebuild the model in any way and even a less experienced modeler can manage it.

  • 1:48 scale, replacement exhausts for a model of the I-153
  • open exhaust mouths and thin wall outlines
  • the exchange of one detail with no change to the structure of the model
  • suited to modelers who want to bring out the area around the engine cowling
  • as a rule fitted only once the surrounding surfaces are painted

Building and painting tips

Cut the surplus material away with a sharp blade a little clear of the part and sand the rest carefully, so that the mating surface stays flat. Wash and degrease the parts before painting, otherwise the paint holds badly. Use cyanoacrylate for gluing; the details are given in the manufacturer's instructions. When painting, a dark base coat works well, with rust and brown shades laid on lightly over it and finally a darkened mouth, which gives the impression of service.

Terms of supply

The aircraft model, paints and glue are not part of the delivery, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It is intended for models of the Polikarpov I-153 in 1:48 scale. Which kit it goes with follows from the manufacturer's instructions; compare the shape of the engine cowling and the exhaust openings against them.

With cyanoacrylate onto a degreased surface. Try the part dry first and level any unevenness on the mating surface with fine sandpaper.

As a rule only once the engine cowling and the surrounding surfaces are painted. You save yourself masking and it is easier to shade the mouth itself.

Yes. It is the exchange of a single detail with no change to the structure of the model; careful separation of the part and a clean sanding are enough.
