THE FIGHTER-15. Scale model 1:33.
I-15 is one of the best in world practice of aircraft construction of samples of a fighter-biplane – has been developed in 1933 in Polikarpov design Bureau. The scheme and design of the I-15 was a further development of fighter I-5, but had better aerodynamics and a much more powerful motor air-cooled M-25 (license reproduction of the American Wright Cyclone f-3). A characteristic feature of the I-15 was the peculiar form of the upper wing having the circuit “Chayka”, thereby reducing aerodynamic drag and gave the best view forward and up.
After the construction of cottage or garden house, as a rule, there remains a lot of unused construction material suitable for auxiliary facilities on the site.
The ill-fated Treaty of Versailles, it would seem, was done with the German Navy once and for all. The remaining fleet of 6 old battleships did not represent any danger, not only for the “mistress of the seas”, but even for its much more “land” ally, France, and in time joined the winners Italy. And the prospects looked equally pleasing to the Entente: a possible replacement for this piece of junk the Germans could not build ships with a displacement of more than 10 thousand tons. At the same time they were forbidden to be on the ships guns more than 11 inches (280 mm).
To make a model of the ship, which would be a decoration in the house I wanted for a long time. But all that couldn’t decide what military ship to take over the original ones seemed too complicated to manufacture, others pretty boring.
