After reading an
article about the Polikarpov I-152 in SAMI, it interested me and I decided to
build one in Finnish Service in WWII. The cockpit is resin & photo-etched
metal and takes the usual test fitting and adjusting but does work out.
I used invisible
thread for the rigging, drilling holes in the wings and fuselage, pulling the
thread through and holding it taut while the gap-filling superglue set with a
drop of accelerator. A little black paint and it looks OK.
I used Floquil
paints left over in my stash from their old Military colors line from the DioSol
days :-)
The kit builds
nicely and was a fun break from the more common aircraft I usually do.
