Following on the heels of my HS-123 mass build I decided to clear the shelves of my accumulation of Soviet biplane fighters by assembling all seven of the the I-15s in my inventory.  This will be in two stages, the first wave will be kits from Encore https://antonswargame.blogspot.com/2025/01/with-holidays-behind-me-it-is-time-for.html  followed by the kits from Aviation USK    https://antonswargame.blogspot.com/2025/01/further-adventure-in-soviet-biplanes.html

These are both old kits and I'm not impressed by the quality of the models, this may be a mistake. We shall see

Built they are; now I just need a break in the weather so I can get them primed for painting.

I gave up on waiting for better weather and went ahead and primed them indoors.  https://antonswargame.blogspot.com/2025/01/th-soviet-biplanes-some-paint-at-last.html

I got the windscreens on and the pilots painted and they are now on their way to their respective air forces  https://antonswargame.blogspot.com/2025/01/finishing-polikarpov-i-15-series-decals.html
