ICM have sent us details of their second quarterscale Polikarpov I-153. This time it's a ski-equipped version and although the kit is listed as still in development, it is clearly at an advanced stage going by the photos of a fully-finished test-shot to back up the CAD views.

Hi Sergey
I did wonder if the wheel-wells would be faired-over for the skis. It's an opportunity for you to produce an extra resin set.
All the best

Thanks for the information Sergey. In addition to the points you mentioned in the review, this also seems to be an easy fix. The overall white scheme with the red stars is very attractive and with 16 euro's you keep your self busy for a few weeks

Where is the pilot? ICM has enough Russian aircraft by now why not include a pilot?
