ICM I-15 Chato 1:72 Plastic Model Kit HC-ICM72061

The ICM I-15 Chato - Spanish Air Force Biplane Fighter HC-ICM72061 is a 1:72 plastic model assembly kit of the I-15 Chato fighter biplane. The subject is presented as an aircraft used by Spanish forces during the Spanish Civil War, making this kit suitable for aircraft fans and scale modellers interested in historic aviation. The kit contains 53 parts and is supplied for assembly, followed by painting and finishing to complete the model.

The moulded sprues provide the components needed to build the biplane in 1:72 scale, while the included assembly instructions guide the construction process. The finished model has a stated length of 85 mm and width of 135 mm. This is a plastic kit rather than a ready-built or painted model, so preparation, assembly, painting and finishing are required by the modeller.
