1/48 ICM Polikarpov Po 2

Gallery Article by Jens Gerber on Aug 21 2014

 

Here is the latest from my modeling studio.  :-) 
This is my Polikarpov Po 2 of ICM in 1:48 with parts including the Giva Po 2 wheels and the Dragon Fokker D.VII modified for wheel.  The decals are sought from the spare parts box.

The model 
ICM Polikarpov Po 2 Kit No. 48251 
The kit unfortunately only comes in the ski version with only 2 decal markings.  The fit accuracy is very good, the assembly process is done without much filling.  The wire rigging is done with stretched sprue.

MFP Options are 

  • the bombs of Giva are supplemented 

  • The Mg is from Giva 

  • the wheels are from a Fokker D.VII Dragon 

  • the decals are remnants of IL 2, LaGG, MiG 3, etc. 

The painting was done with paints from Model Master, with colors that are indicated in the ICM instructions. 

For me this is my first Biplane, so much new to practice.  The kit can also be recommended in all versions. 

Greetings from Germany.
