Polikarpov I-15
The gunsight and MG blast tubes are Albion Alloys .7mm brass tubing.
The I-15 kit was the worst of the three I built together. The main wing struts and wheel struts do not have locating pins. There were also a lot of plastic blobs on the surface of the wing.
The decals went down without any issues. The paint scheme is AE-9 light gray metal with aluminum doped fabric. I used AK Interactive RC308 and RC020 paints.
The engine exhaust stubs are Albion Alloys MBT09 tubing.
The rigging is Infini Aero rigging. I tried to pull the rigging through the fuselage when possible to get it tight, but I had to drill through the bottom wing for the rear rigging.
The I-15 in 1/72 scale is small. I did not spend much time on the cockpit as you don't see much of it.
