About product

I-153 Chaika control surfaces - 1:72 (Aires)

A resin detail set, not an aircraft kit. This set in finely cast resin refines the control surfaces of the Soviet Polikarpov I-153 Chaika fighter biplane in 1:72 scale. It replaces the parts from the box with faithfully rendered ailerons, elevator and rudder with a fine texture of ribs and fabric skin and makes it possible to fit them in a deflected position. The set is intended for more advanced modelers with resin experience.

What the set is for

On a biplane with largely fabric skin, a faithful texture of the movable surfaces is the key to a realistic result. The casting captures the sag of the fabric between the ribs as well as the thin trailing edges, which are hard to achieve in plastic. Deflected surfaces also give a static model a lively, active impression that suits the characteristic gulled upper wing of this machine.

Usage tips

  • Wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water to remove mold release residue
  • Cut off the casting blocks and sand the surfaces with respiratory protection
  • Bond with super glue (cyanoacrylate)
  • Check the degree of deflection of the surfaces with a dry fit, according to the scene you have in mind

Who the set is for

  • For builders of the I-153 Chaika biplane in 1:72 scale
  • For advanced modelers with resin experience
  • For lovers of Soviet prewar subjects and fine skin texture

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. It is a resin set of control surfaces that complements a biplane kit you already have. The base model has to be bought separately.

It lets you fit the ailerons, the elevator and the rudder in a deflected position and brings a faithful texture of the ribs and the fabric skin.

It calls for a little experience. The parts are washed to remove mold release residue, cut off the casting blocks and bonded with super glue. Sand with respiratory protection.
