Hi all!

I just finished my Polikarpov I-153 "Tchaïka" for the "Two Wings and a Prayer" Campaign.



The Classic Airframes 1/48 kit was build OOB with some "adjustments" to details. you can read more on the Campaign thread. Overall it took me 15 days to finish the kit so it was a pretty straightforward one. In all, a nice little kit, not too easy but not to hard! The camouflage was what made me nervous first but I managed to use paper maskings wich made the whole thing easier...





You can see more pictures and "in progress" shots in my gallery! A bientôt!

Hi Jean-Luc

Beautiful!... and I hadn't even realised the Campaign had gone official and started! Ooops! I'd better get a move on! LOL!

All the best

Hi Rowan!

You have an excuse, you were in greece! Some are making holidays while others are building kits! :-)

Beautiful, I see what we will be up against in next months MOM
I don't have one of these, but I have, now, on my wish list.

Nice job on the Gull !

The scheme looks a little familiar. I did the same one a little while ago: http://www.pix.prettyneatinc.com/polikarpovbuild.htm

Well done !

Thanks Mal and Bill!

I knew you made the same model Bill! Paul Sonnemans (007) pointed my to your posts and it was very helpful! For the decals, for example, I simply tried to go around the problem you noticed by leaving a space free of green camouflage as you can see! So thank you again!
Mal, for next MOM I have another model in mind... I'll see

I'm sure it will be a winner, whatever it is.

Hi again Jean-Luc

There's definitely a Feature / Review lurking there!

Come on! You guys post AMAZING pics of your builds but somehow need to be bullied into submitting articles! You should be knocking at my door!

All the best

Rowan

Knock! Knock! Knock!
