Description
The 1930s were the "golden age" of biplane fighters. In the Soviet Union, they were developed by N. N. Polikarpov, the "king of fighters." The first Soviet large fighter I-5 was created by him in 1930.
The next biplane fighter was the I-15. Its main feature is the central part of the upper wing in the shape of a seagull. The aircraft had outstanding maneuverability and was the best in the world for this characteristic.
The further development of the I-15 became the I-15bis. Its main differences were the "normal" center of the upper wing and the NACA hood. Serial production of the I-15bis began in 1937 and lasted until 1939.
The set includes 53 parts and a decal for 2 options.
Dimensions of the finished model: length - 87 mm, wingspan - 142 mm.
