About product

I-153 Chaika gunsights 1:48 (Quickboost)

A resin detail part, not an airplane kit. This finely cast resin set refines the gunsights of the Soviet Polikarpov I-153 Chaika fighter biplane in 1:48 scale. The small sights in front of the cockpit are captured in the casting with fine details that the plastic from the box tends to render coarsely or in simplified form. The part is intended for more advanced modelers with resin experience.

What the part is for

The gunsight is a small but conspicuous element in the pilot area and with an open cockpit it is right in view. A resin casting offers crisp edges and a faithful shape that injection-molded plastic manages only with difficulty in this scale. Once painted and set in front of the instrument panel, it adds authenticity to the view into the cockpit.

Usage tips

  • Wash the parts free of mold release residue in lukewarm soapy water
  • Cut off the casting blocks and sand the surfaces with respiratory protection
  • Glue with cyanoacrylate glue
  • Handle the small parts carefully, as they are fragile

Who the part is for

  • For builders of the I-153 Chaika biplane in 1:48 scale
  • For more advanced modelers with resin experience
  • For lovers of faithful cockpit equipment

This is a resin detail accessory, not a model. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. These are resin gunsights that complete a kit you already own. The base airplane model has to be bought separately.

A resin casting has crisper edges and a more faithful shape than the simplified plastic part, so the view into the cockpit looks more realistic.

It takes a little experience. The parts are washed free of mold release agent, cut from the casting blocks and glued with cyanoacrylate glue. Sand with respiratory protection.
