Polikarpov I-15
#1

Someone already mentioned that could be easily modeled an I-15 using I-153?
Clear that the model of the flight should lose a little power!

Less then 10% of all fighters available on June 1941 were I-15's. I think one of your pictures is a I-152 and not a I-15. At least the I-152 was used by more then one squadron at the time. I would rather have a real I-16 tip 24 and a tip 29. They flew in large numbers. The I-16 Type (tip) 24 we have is really a type 27.

It is but you forgot to mention the Spanish civil war.
And the photos that are posted to I-15, not the I-152

Check out my post in this thread:

(The link is inoperative)

I-15 has a gull wing. I-152 has a larger engine and a straight wing.

Yes, but they were quite frequently used against Finland in Winter War 1939-1940.

Ranwers,that looks beutiful,but for my eye..i think the gear should be taken from Cr.42..

Ranwers election is the correct one IMHO, Cr42 is too massive

Looks pretty good to me. Here are a couple of shots from my model... waiting for the 3D converter!

SG4_Loku Wrote:Hi guys.Its I-15bis(I-152) not a I-15,I-15bis(152) was improved version with stronger engine.
I-16:only types 17 and 27 had 20mm Shvak cannons,type 18and 24 had 4x7mm Shkas.
so if we now knew how to add new(copy) plane into game, it shouldnt be a problem to fix this,
and how it should looks on plane list:

I-16type18 4xShkas (in game)
I-16type24 4xShkas (type 24+type 18 wings,new classfile,new air.ini,plane.properties)
I-16type24(SPB) 4xShkas (type24+type 18 wings,new classfile,new air.ini,plane.properties)
I-16type27 2xshkas+2xShvak (already type 24,new air.ini,plane.properties)

I hope someone with the Java skills sees your post SG4_Loku. Adding a Type 29 would not be that hard either. It would have the same FM as the existing so called Type 24.

This is not a I-15 but the later I-152.

Here you have some I-15 pictures of a model rebuilt some years ago by an ex I-15 spanish republican pilot:
