Model Forum / General / Models / May 2006

A friend sent me a nice 1/72 kit of the I-15, parts only, missing the
clear parts.

I started it last night and I became curious as to what kit it is. I
compared it to the following kits in my collection and it was not one
of them: Aviation Usk, Azur, Guano, ICM, MSP and Pavla.

I have the following listed in the database that I do not have: Bum,
Malkov, MC, Modelist and Special Hobby.

As I think that is one of these I would like to ask if anyone has one
with the description shown below:
White injection molded plastic. Pretty heavy sprue gates to the parts.
Fuselage halves include the vertical tail surfaces, rudder. Upper wing
one piece, lower wings seperate. Both have the wing strut attachments
outlined on their surface. Engine in front and rear halves. Cowling
ring one piece with very heavy central sprue in three spokes. Each
wheel has a seperate outer wheel cover. Small parts are pretty crisp.
Vented dome over engine front is very finely detailed. Cockpit includes
floor, seat, head rest, control column, instrument panel. No cockpit
details on the sides. Inside of fuselage halves are large ejection pins
just ahead of the cockpit and at the base of the vertical tail.
Underside of the top wing has ejection pins under each side as well as
on the center.

If anyone knows for sure which kit this please let me know. I could
really use the clear parts, at least the windscreen. Instructions would
also be nice, as would decals. I plan on doing the Chinese variant.

TIA
