    Andy T's completed 1/48 ICM I-153 (build a biplane GB)

    A pretty quick build this as there wasn't much to it. Very small too! Almost seems like a 1/72.

    I went for the Finnish colour scheme (meaning posting pics on social media would be problematic) which turned out nicely. Rigging went quite well too as I'd pre-drilled holes for ez line, including the double lines at the front.

    The kit went together very nicely. Apparently there are a few discrepancies in accuracy to the real thing but I've never been too bothered about that.

    I hope you like the pictures, and once again thanks to Ian for organising this very popular GB

        A fine example Andy, very neat and a lovely paint job.
        Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

                Oooh, that is small. And small - and very nice, I like that Andy. Sorry I never followed the build. Now I feel a bit better I'll start catching up.

                      Thanks everyone, I'm glad you like it.

                      This group build has given me a taste for biplanes so I'm sure I'll be doing more of them in the future.

                        What is it they say - "Good things come in small packages". Certainly the case here. A great result and that is a stunning paint job.

                            That is a cracking little build Andy, great work.
