Ah yes, I forgot to tell the the other I-153 is one I did years ago. It is the Heller/SMER kit. I added that as a comparison. The Heller kit is a bit more “chunky” and and has several subtle errors such as the cowling, tailplane and spurious panel lines.

Here is a great article aboit what is wrong about the Heller kit.

In both cases I had to do quite some modifications to get the best out of that kit.
