Here is a build report by Fabrice Fanton (ffanton) of Rest Model's 1:48 scale Polikarpov I-15. This is an all resin kit and in the hands of a skilled modeller really makes into a superb replica of this important Russian biplane fighter.

Lovely build Fabrice!
...though I must say that the Rest models kit I built was easier than many plastic short run kits
OTOH this being a bi-plane makes it probably a bit harder than the He 112V-6.
Anyway, great model!
all the best

Hi Fabrice
Great build!
I made a start on this one myself before I left London and I can vouch for what a gorgeous little kit it is - it's high on my list of builds to get back to once I'm unpacked and have a proper workroom again.
All the best

The engine alone is worth the price of admission. Very well-done!
