Model kit manufacturers
Who are some good kit makers who might do the Polikarpov I-153 and I-16, basically something out of the ordinary.
Also can you recommend some good online retailers? |

Heller makes an I-153, as does Smer. There was a Heller one on Ebay with a 'Buy-it-now' price of $9.99.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Heller-1:72-Poli...11135003r33413 It's gone, but others certainly come and go all the time. Revell used to make an I-16, but though it looked nice it wasn't very accurate. There have been other, better kits but they are rare. I even at one point had a vac kit of the I-152 (I-153 but with fixed landing gear). Look around the web. They are out there.
